@shaniaseymour i know right!

major turn off when she said '' start by being an extra''. -.-

@supergirl1516 That seems to be a very small partial input into becoming a famous actor. Its mainly about skill and capability, not personality. People like Johnny Depp and Christian Bale have hardly any personality, but still successful and rightly so. Then there are people like Matt Smith and Will Smith, personality is totally there, and they are successful, but not as.

@AlmightyGidge5991 its not ALWAYS luck its also about outgoingness and personality :)

@supergirl1516 Yeah but its sought of luck. Extra's come in their thousands, and only a very small handful get picked to be famous.

@AlmightyGidge5991 Thats how u build up to be a film star. Look at kesha she used to be backround in lots of things :)

@jnb1231 here is some advice, i have gotten lead roles and been in plenty backround movies. First if u cant find anyone that is currently with an agency do some research. Once u find somewhere easy to get to meet with the agent and get ur headshots. After they are posted, this is where the waiting comes. U dont have to audititon for backround they just call u. Other things like i do u have to audition like voice overs tv shows and more. I really hope this helps remember, lots of time\money. :)

No offence to extras, but alot of them seem like mentally unstable wanna be film stars :/
