Extra work?

Question

Hi,

I did extra work in a movie and the producers and all the crew had a lot of fun with what i was doing. They all said that what i was doing was real great. Even the main actor out of the 500 other extras knew my name and spotted me. Do you think i have good chances of actually ending up in the movie ? I gave my best it would be sad that they all thought i was perfect and real good and not be filmed.

Answer 1

Not necessarely

Answer 2

Unfortunately, extra parts are really only there to be pleasing to the shot. So if you got in a good shot that the principle roles were in, probably. Talent in an extra part really isn't necessary, but if you did good in this, it's always good for the director to get to know your face, it gives you good chances later on.
