I have never tried acting but my grandma was a famous actress in Soviet Union. I feel like acting as an extra is not for me, as it’s not even acting but that being said I haven’t tried any kind of acting and I don’t speak good enough Chinese. So, I wonder, maybe I should try that to get into this field. Your suggestions?
You will make around $100 and will do a lot of sitting around in the holding area. They also give you a pretty good lunch. It's fun to see how a movie is made and if you are in Los Angeles or Atlanta you will likely be some big movies as most are made in one of those cities.

It might be interesting. I would do it for the experience. I dated somebody who was an extra in the movie Black Sunday. We rented the movie on VHS and she showed me where she was. It was pretty cool.
