Background Acting: What is being an extra like? 🎥🍿 A Compilation of All the Movies/Shows I Was In!

Hi friends! 🥰🥰🥰
For the past few years, I've worked sporadically as a background extra/background actor!! It was just something I did to make some money/in my spare time, and whenever I tell people I did this, they always found it super interesting! So I thought I'd share what it's like being a background extra, how to become a background extra as well as what my experience on various sets were! I always make a point of checking the TV shows/movies that I was in to see if I can spot myself. I've made a little compilation of them here, and circled myself, for you to watch! I've worked on a variety of productions, from Netflix shows to Disney movies. This is a GREAT way for students to make some money.

Being a background actor/extra is definitely not as glamorous or exciting as you might think. It is super interesting to see how things work behind the scenes but it can also be an incredibly slow-paced and boring job. I am very thankful for the opportunities I've had and I definitely think that everyone should give it a try if they're interested! There are literally no requirements to being a background actor/extra, you don't need any experience and you don't need to look a certain way. It is VERY easy work! :)

Hello, NONE of the clips I have inserted are mine! They belong to their respective owners at Disney/Netflix/Youtube/whoever they are. I'm just sharing them for fun!
