How do I become a movie extra?
Question by weathe52: How do I become a movie extra?
I live in the NY area so it would seem that it would be easy to find work as a movie extra, but I have NO idea where to start. I have NO experience and I keep coming across websites that make you pay for profiles. Are these legit? Can anyone recommend a creditable source to list myself for work. I dont mind paying (a little) for a profile as long as the site is legit and can actually get me work. If you know of any other options, please let me know! Thanks!!!

You go to Central Casting
http://www.centralcasting.org/NY/actors/registration.html#non
Show up at the correct day and time for non-union actors, have all your paperwork filled out and take a pen, a pencil and something to write on with you. They only take new registrations two days a week, but they are the oldest most legit organization out there. All major productions go to central casting! There is a small fee for taking your picture etc, but it is optional, not mandatory.
