If you are fairly new to the acting profession but have managed to land yourself a part as one of the acting extras, there is a certain type of behaviour that is expected from you when on set.
The way an actor conducts themselves on any type of set will often impact their chances of getting or not getting other extras parts or acting roles.
As an actor or extra, your behaviour on set should be exemplary.
Some important points to note when working on a production set:
• Always arrive early.
• Observe and learn if you are new to the experience.
• Take a book, because it can be many long hours before you are required to participate.
• Always treat the cast and crew with respect.
• Know your place in the pecking order with food and refreshments.
• Don’t speak to the star actors unless they talk to you first.
When a TV or film producing is on location shooting an outdoor scene, it is often required for any locals to get involved as extras. Extras jobs will be advertised in local press and have been the starting point for many successful actors today.
