@RaptorLLD: Probably a few hundred bucks.

[gatitoroulette15]

you don't reallyy need an agent for extra roles..

[RaptorLLD]

So you mean. When your agent call you for an audition and you won't get the job. Your agent gets nothing - no money?

And when you get the role, you'll get 85-90% from the payment and your agent gets 10-15%?

How much do you get for a extra role - like for 2012 or The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus?

Fityboy,

You shouldnt smoke so much weed man, because you makes you write stupid things on youtube.

I dont see your ass on IMDB....for your information alot of the a list actors out there started off as crew or extras....and alot get upgraded on set. Alot of non union sets give regular extras feature scenes and speaking roles on the spot....U my friend have no fuckin clue what u are talking about. most of the best, natural , highest paid actors have never even had an acting class other than learning how to do a slate. So shove your actors guild card up your ass, where it belongs

Whats your current extra casting company , is it good? im interested/

[yarkimcri123]

no dont pay!! you dont ever pay ur agents, they get 10-15% of your PAYCHECK when you get a job. you should never pay them up front. so like ur agent lets say calls u and says theres an audition for so and so u go do the audition and if you get the part and ur check from that job you did, some of the money goes towards them

[kicoresolution]

if an agent ask for money at first. they are a SCAM, no agent should ask for money, they only get 10% of what u get for a role that they get u. if they didn't get u any parts then u dont pay them at all.

it all depends on the auditions they get u and how much they pay u.

:]

dont get ripped off

being an extra is not being an actor, unfortunately. You dont need to audition for to be an extra in a movie....it s all about how you look and if you fit into the movie....
