That must have been fun! I briefly knew a film extra. Cool guy. Suffered greatly from poverty. :|


It was an interesting insight into film making, I was in a nightclub scene and everyone had to dance to the music and drink pretend lager, then the music was stopped but everyone had to keep dancing so the actors could be heard. It is possible to get by being an extra but you need an agent who works hard and doesn't charge much.

You're also responsible for your own wardrobe. Like if you're appearing in a scene set in a gentleman's club you'll have to show up at oh-dark-thirty looking the part on a full-time extra's income.

That's true most of the time but depending on the show , the costume department may provide you with clothes.

When I was approached for the nightclub scene, the person who asked me said we are looking for really freaky f****d up people :lol: Guess I fitted the bill 8)

I saw a great interview with the producers of The Big Chill which you haven't seen, but they were describing how hard it was to orchestrate the 'kitchen dancing' scene without the Motown music playing. That was the first time I'd heard of needing the music off, but it makes sense.

Do you ever get told you look like someone famous? You have a very familiar face and I can't place it at the moment - I'll post when it comes to me.

^ I don't think he looks anything like Dwight tbh but I think it may be a comedian/actor I'm thinking of.

Has your beard stopped growing, dude or are you keeping it at that length. It was that length when I saw a photo of you years ago, I thought you'd be rocking a ZZ Top beard by now.

I think you're cute TGI. Wrong word - not "cute" but you know what I mean. You'd catch my eye. You have a rocker / slash / biker vibe to you. Does your personality fit with that? How would you describe your personality?
