Extras

Ever wanted to be on stage or behind the screen? We got good news for you! Even if you are not a trained actor you can still be part of the action by being an extra.

For every handful of stars, thousands of relatively inexperienced extras appear in nonspeaking, nonsinging or nondancing capacity in the background, for instance in an audience or busy street scene, in films, television shows, commercials, music videos, and so on. All extras have lots of fun and get to see the real action up close, and many have also moved on as famous actors.
