Background actors wanted for theater and film proj
Movies and television shows very often use people like props to create a background which seems like a real environment. The people who are needed to participate in such roles are known as background actors, background performers or most commonly EXTRAS. You will see them as crowds at sporting events, students in the school hallway, patients in hospitals and diners at restaurants. Background actors are the soldiers on the battlefield and even the criminals in jail cells.
There's absolutely no question about it - if you'd like to appear in a movie or be seen on TV, you can. No matter what type of film - action & adventure, drama, comedy, romance, science fiction or horror - all will need dozens if not hundreds of extras. What's so great about being an extra is that jobs are easy to find since looks don't matter, education doesn't matter and your age doesn't matter. In fact, anyone can be a background actor without any acting experience.
