You Can be a Movie Extra

Just having the opportunity to be a movie extra for a day can be one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences movie fanatics can obtain. Each year hundreds of movies are made. Many people assume that these movies are only made in big cities like Los Angeles or New York. That's where so many people are wrong. It's true that many films are produced in Hollywood, CA and New York, NY, but more often than you'd think, major motion picture production companies travel around the world to shoot their films "on-location." This means that movies and TV shows are being filmed in cities, towns and neighborhoods all over the world. It's just a matter of time before a film crew rolls into a town near you.

There's absolutely no question about it - if you'd like to appear in a movie or be seen on TV, you can. No matter what type of film - action & adventure, drama, comedy, romance, science fiction or horror - all will need dozens if not hundreds of movie extras. What's so great about being a movie extra is that jobs are easy to find since looks don't matter, education doesn't matter and your age doesn't matter. In fact, anyone can be a movie extra without any acting experience. What's more, talent agents, talent scouts, casting directors and producers will always need movie extras and background performers for their productions. All you have to do is let them know you want to work.
