HOW DO YOU BECOME A MOVIE EXTRA?

Question

Legitimately, that is. I've seen some talent scouters, but they seem like scams because they ask for money up front.

Does anyone know? Thank you, I am very interested!

Answer 1

talent scouters are mostly scams be careful, you have their number.  

depends where you are, in big cities there are agents who cast extras, it is best to watch the newspaper and tv to see if a film company is in town shooting a movie and calling for extras, then you just go. You may have to pay to have a photo taken while there, but it should be a nominal cost.  

Answer 2

ive seen ads in newspaper classifieds but a lot of them are kinda looking for some sort of talent or deep interest.

Answer 3

If you are in LA I have the answer!!!

This is an excellent way to get some experience on set.  I've done it but I had coaching.  It is fun and easy.  Go get signed up with http://www.centralcasting.org/

That is a group you will have to visit eventually I promise.  

Than you will need headshots.  There are ton's of talented photographers in LA.  There are also 10 times as many scams.  I would recommend.

http://www.hollywoodmodelphotography.com

If you have been to a photographer before than you will be pleasantly surprised with this one.  If not it is a perfect induction.

Good Luck!!!
