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.
