  • I'm trying to be an extra on Burn Notice. I don't care about getting paid. I would just love to be a part of an episode.

  • That wasn't informative at all.

  • It s so sad that background performer with all the hours they work get payed so poorly!!!:( It s not fair at all! I mean i understand that background are not actors they are just background but they are so important for certain scenes to make they look real too. Imagine a movie or tv show only with actors and no background??? how weird and unreal would it look??? It s sad also they way somepeople treat background and i am not talking about getting the vip treament but the normal stuff

  • I appreciate ur help

  • do you mean how do you get to the audition or place if u get the job? ur talent agent in your area that represents you would tell you when there would be auditions etc. in SAN ANTONIO which is where you live and they if they hear of a certain character for an audition and think you would be a good part for it they call you and tell you to be there and all that other info stuff an such...i might have some of my info mixed up but yeah

  • GOD BLESS YOU GUYS!

  • my friend always start sentance with "Okay, Imagine if" lol

  • Notta problem : ]

  • oooh yes, i get it.

    thankyou :)

  • Okay, imagine your doing a scene with construction.. and the construction in the back round BEGINS when the word Background is said. a little better?
