I have just started auditioning to be an extra in films and TV!  I have already done a couple jobs!
Cool, did you have any acting experience before then?
Not really.  Just some high school drama class experience.  I am just now starting to build a portfolio.
Well this is a good way to start. Do you have a nonspeaking role or do you say something?
They are just non-speaking roles.  Do you have any advice that would help?
I guess you can feel good about yourself knowing that any type of acting role requires imagination!
Yeah, I try to get fully immersed into the role I am supposed to be playing.  It is harder than it sounds sometimes!
Well an actor in the background is still a very important actor. Maybe you'll be in a lead role someday!
That would be ideal, but I am not getting my hopes up.  Real actors are one in a million!
Extras are known sometimes as a "Cast of thousands" but I'm sure many celebrities today started out as extras!
