Answer 1

Generally you do not need acting experience nor an agent to become an extra.

The thing is, you do need to live in the city in which the film is being shot.

If they're shooting Harry Potter, for instance, and you live in London then look online or in the local paper to see about extras casting.

If you live some other place, though, the casting people won't fly you out to do the movie.

Best of luck to you!
