Hi Ros ,
My neice has just finished in the filming " boy from nowhere " ( John Lennons story)
She loved every min of it , long days though she had to be in the park at 7am & the main actors where all there well before that, finished 1st day at 8pm,
another friend has been an extra in Brookside & Corrie , he loves it but i'm sure he only goes for the food they supply !

Love Karen

My son's friend was an extra in the film "Atonement" when it was filmed on Redcar beach.

He loved every minute - although as already been said it was a couple of very long days. He loved the army uniform he had to wear, loved meeting the stars and also loved the food which was apparently very good - the cash was an extra bonus.

if anyone wants me as an extra in a Daniel Craig or Alan Rickman film, or Harrison Ford, give me a call

I have a few friends that were extras in Quadrophenia - for the beach fight scenes. I think that there had been an ad in the local paper for it.

I knew a young woman years ago who was an occasional extra: she wrote off to a company who used her whenever they were in her part of the UK. She didn't make much money but had a lot of fun in adverts, films and tv and gave it up when the chlidren came along as the days were too long.

Ooh Ann,a girl after my own heart ..... mmmmm Alan Rickman.

Have you be a paid up member of RADA or do you simply answer an advertisment spotted in the news paper ?

Or do you have to advertise your availability ?

I was in an advert for the Royal Navy but didnt get paid any extra. Was supposed to be in the Indian Ocean - we were in the Bristol Channel lol amazing what a bit of editing and lighting can do

no you don`t need to be in RADA to be an extra -anyone can do it , it was advertised in newspapers
