About the book
How do you actually go about becoming an Extra, one of those lucky people who get to mix with the stars, and appear onscreen – whether it be in a battle scene in a blockbuster movie, or walking around Albert Square – and what’s more, get paid for the privilege! There has never been a book which tells you exactly how to get work as a Supporting Artiste – until now.
This book is a step by step guide through the process of working as an Extra. From how to get started, finding an agent, the casting process, what happens on the filming day, the different types of work available, how work differs regionally and internationally. It also has a useful directory of Agents, Studio Location and pay agreements.
The book also has amusing and insightful stories from Supporting Artistes who are working now.
In essence, this book is the Bible for both the new and experienced Supporting Artistes. An interesting insight, but also a reference book that you can refer back to for guidance.
