Getting a job in the industry is quite difficult and is highly based on who you know.  It will take time to develop your circle until eventually you land with one of these careers.  Be patient and don't lose sight of your goal, but never give up.

You need to get yourself an agent. I don't know where you are located, but you can find one in the phone book or do an online search. Start there because companies casting for commercials and movies use agents to find the right people for a part.

Do a goodle search on either "movie extra" or even "background artist".  That should point you to an agency.  Send them photos of yourself in different types of clothes (formal, casual, beachwear, whatever).  A friend of mine sent a photo of himself in a superman costume.  Let them know how you can look in different situations.  Keep an eye on the paper want ads for upcoming casting calls.  Good luck

There is room for you in movies, maybe not what we think of as big time Hollywood productions, but Indie films where your language and clothing requirements would be appropriate. Get a portfolio of photos of yourself and start shopping for an agent. Good luck.

Pretty much the same as every job, you just need to fill\nout a resume, do an interview, and the rest.  You do not NEED to have a big member to get in, but it is recommended on some sets, and sexual stamina is a big help in getting yourself the spot.  You just have to search really deep or find a firm in your city that does this.  If you follow these steps, you will be in the adult film industry in no time ;) PS: Good Luck!(you won't really need it, but anyway)

Local theater.  It is the best place to start.  You can also look around for small studios and drop off head shots.  It sometimes works.  Shoe to a casting call for extras if a movie is being made if your area.  This one is a little tougher. But they are the step ladder to help you out.

You had better start taping who your doing and sending it in as an audition. Of course you will have to do the director and some of his friends too.

It's best to get some experience first.  An agent won't take you on if you're an unknown quantity.  \n\nTake some acting classes.  If you're interested in film/TV, take classes geared toward that.  Do some community theatre, volunteer to be in student films at your local college.  (Ask for a copy of the tape as payment.)  \n\nGet some nice headshots done.  It's good to have the picture printed on postcards, so when you're in a production you can use them to send out announcements to agents/casting directors.  Sometimes they come to showcases.  \n\nAudition for everything.  You'll learn something new every time, and you'll be come a familiar face.  \n\nOnce you have some credits to put on a resume and some experience under your belt, start applying to agencies.  You may get a "Sorry, we have enough of your type/age/experience now."  Don't badger them, but re-apply in six months.  \n\nKeep studying, keep working on the craft, and be a cooperative actor.  Word of mouth is a powerful factor, and if you get a reputation as difficult, it won't matter how good you are.  \n\nBreak a leg!

find an agency, look in the phone book. make sure that they are a member of SAG (Screen Actors Guild) and they will not charge you. anyone that is legitimate wont at least. they will get something like 15% to 20% of what you make on each gig. you will have to go on casting calls and do not get discouraged, it will take a lot of them before you get a gig, usually. Good Luck.

You don't say what part of the country you are from but there are small film makers and film associations all over. Try looking them up on the net and finding out about auditioning through them.  I've been in a couple local shorts that have gone to international festivals. it's a good way to get your foot in the door.\n\nLocal commercials can be a good jumping off point.  Call local add agencies and see what they say.\n\n Then you'll want to see about an agent and you need to set up a web sight.

According to everything I have read, you nust be good-looking, nice body, be hung, and be able to accomplish certain feats on que.  You can't be the type of person that freaks-out in front of a camera while everyone is watching you and her do your thing, no matter how many "takes" is necessary.  If you can say to yourself, "heh, that's me," then get an agent.

You're gonna have to get an adult to help out.  It could begin with your parents taking you to a talent agency.  They'll see you for free and you'll pick up free advice even if they don't take you on as a client.  You may have to visit a bunch of agencies before they take you on.\nOnce you're a client of a talent agency, they should begin the process of looking for parts for you.\nMeanwhile, peruse Variety to see what movies are shooting crowd scenes where you live.  Go start that way.  (see, you'll need an adult for transportation).\nOr look into your local community theatre.  When large productions come to town, they like to call the local community theatres to get actors for the smaller parts.

Get some portfolio shots done and register yourself with casting agencies... Highlight as many skills you might have eg Horseback riding, martial arts, walking using hands etc...\n\nIf they don't call, call them and see if there is anything out there for you...\n\nBut be warned castings are tough though, there are always 10's/100's of people going for the job too, can be a bit like an X factor audition...

Bring a couple of changes of clothes.  You probably wont need them, but the time you dont, the wardrobe dept will decide they dont like what you are wearing.\n\nTurn off your mobile phone. Dont just turn it to silent. \n\nFollow direction from assistant director.\n\nIf you are working with people who have done it before, get them to help you.\n\nDont approach the stars or try to take photos.\n\nMime talking to other extras.  During rehearsals, you can whisper a conversation which will give you an idea of what to pretend to say.\n\nDont knock over any scenery or props.\n\nYou will have to film the same scene a number of times from different camera angles.  Try to match the action in each shot.  Be aware of your starting position and whether you start on 'and', 'action' or a couple of beats after 'action'.  Get a few ideas of where you should be at different points in the dialogue in case they film only part of the scene in later takes.\n\nReact to what is happening in the scene.  If the main actors are in a fight, look at them.  If they are just talking quietly, ignore them.  Unless told otherwise, do what you would do in real life.\n\nYour eyes can be in the general direction of the camera, but dont focus on it. In both senses of the expression.  If its in the background, focus on something in the foreground and vice versa.  Concentrate on the action, or one of your fellow extras and you will soon forget about the camera.
