Sometimes working in the background can be the best experience for an actor who wants to learn about Hollywood. Assistant Casting Editor Nicole Porter went to a casting call for Courtney Cox's new program "Dirt" to get the scoop from background actors working in the business.

  • Live it or leave it. Consider your good fortune. And should your winnings turn down. Learn simple juggling and apply for circus clown. And if those funny shoes don't fit, try a dramatic radio bit. Or your next big music hit. Hit the beach, the park, or the mall with that greatest street entertaining act of them all. All knowing BGill back you up. The world is a stage.

  • do not ask for autographs at any time unless given permission to do so, as actor gets a time to talk with you and maybe deicides since it is the last day of shoot to actually get your picture taken with him or he, just happens to take you to his or her car and to be nice, givers you a signed autograph he had in his car.

  • Try to maintain your self around actors the best way to do this is become the actor and look at it as a job that you love to do and the actors who have there roles are your owners and people who are really high up there and cant help you in the process sometime down the road .

  • I just wanted to point out a background actor should just do there job be very professional and have buisness cards ready to advertise at all times no excemptions. Also carry resumes in your car attached with photo in front of resume.

  • This book includes rates for day players  union and non union rates for any film tv show and also other like stand in for the actual actor.

    Also singers who have passion to sing and would like to sing in the movies someday. It has all the rates that the performer would get paid for. There are also books in information for people who want to be producer a script writer and also for people who want just be in production like a pa on a movie set tv show or even music video or commercial.

  • I also want to point out its also good to shop at samuel french book store any samuel french book store has the latest scripts and also very important then might make an impact on your knowledge in the entertainment world. For those who want to start in background if that is your passion you might want to check out a book called extras for brain surgeons. Try to find the latest issue you can.

  • This is some very good positive feed back for people who want to start out in background.

    And also want to pursue an acting carrer someday.
