Is it a good idea for actors to accept extra work on a film or TV project?

There are a few different thoughts about this.

Some actors will never take on background work. They find it demeaning and believe it will kill their career.

Other actors think it can be helpful to be an extra for film, TV or commercial projects. Here are my thoughts.

If you are just beginning in the acting and modeling industry and have not had much experience on a set, doing some extra work can be helpful.

ADVANTAGES

1. You will get an opportunity to see what takes place on a film or TV set.
2. Sometimes (not always) you can be close enough to the principal
actors to watch and learn from them.
3. You can spend time networking with other extras. Learn about great
agents in the area, head shot photographers, classes and future
projects.
4. Sometimes extras get upgraded and given a line and become a
principal in the project. That has happened to me a few times

DISADVANTAGES OF WORKING AS AN EXTRA

1. You don't want to do too much extra work. It will keep you away from
auditioning for principal projects.
2. If you are established in a scene, you won't get the opportunity to
audition and work on that project as a principal actor
3. Doing a lot of extra work can be hard work. Long days, sometimes not
the best conditions, and if you aren't in the Union, the pay is not great
(in smaller markets.)
4. If you are interested in doing principal work, you don't want to be seen in
the acting community as being an extra only actor.
