What are you doing for income right now? Are you feeling defeated like many Americans around the difficulty in getting a good job? Are you attempting to work out how you're going to find work in these frightening economic times? Most people don't know it but there are numerous acting, modeling and extra opportunities across the nation for experts and beginners. You see them hanging out in the background in television commercials, television shows, movies, stage shows and other performance settings. They don't have singing, dancing, or speaking roles but without them the production would lose much of its importance.
Likewise, actors who accept background roles can make pretty good money. According to research, the basic pay for a full 8-hour work day for a SAG extra ranges from $126 to $309. That's pretty good. What ordinary people don't know is that they are eligible for this work and there are hundreds and sometimes even thousands of opportunities that come available every month. We bet you didn't know that there were over 300,000 movie extras for the funeral scene filmed in the Oscar winning picture "Gandhi." It's true that only about 94,000 of those people received paychecks from the studios and the rest were volunteers but that's 94,000 jobs that were created for one scene in one film.
In addition, if you have the ambition to take things a little further you can use your work as a background actor to familiarize yourself with working on a motion picture set. You can use this opportunity to shape your career as a full-fledged actor. Many of Hollywood's largest stars got their start as background actors. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon worked in the backdrop during the Fenway Park scenes in Field of Dreams. Clint Eastwood worked as an uncredited background actor in a number of movies before he became a star in the late 60s. You may not have considered movie extra work in the past, but it can be a great way to add more income to your life.
If you are in the performing arts business and looking to take your career to the next level or if you are just beginning and you want to familiarize yourself with the entertainment industry, doing background work is a smart way to do it.
