First off, I would suggest finding a film or TV production company in your local area. Better to be a big fish in a smaller moviemaking pond like Capetown than to be just another guppy in Hollywood. Star in as much as you can whether its TV radio, movies, telethons, personal appearances, etc. Get together a resume of solid work and start sending the resumes and a clips reel of stuff youve done to talent agents in larger markets. Work your way up, it takes a long time, but if you have talent, talent will not be denied.

I've been searching and searching the internet, but so far there's only info on the producer, writers, and that WB is baking it. A lot of people want to be in it, but you'd have to be a really good actor, not just look like one of the characters.

Usually when they shoot a movie scene they hire extras in the city where the scene is being filmed. For instance, I lived in Memphis where they filmed alot of movies. When the filmmakers were in town you knew it besides usually they took out an ad in the local paper for anyone interested in being an extra in the movie to show up at a certain place and time where they would pick and choose dependant upon their needs. E.g. white males, colored males, white females, colored females, young, old, tall, short, fit, obese, sloppy, well groomed, gangsta, etc. Just whatever the movies scenes were about dictated the extras that were chosen. The job usually paid a VERY small amount.

Here's how you do it... You need to get famous somehow. The best way is stand up comedy. Get a standup act together, get it out there and tape it and send it to SNL. Or go to los angeles and take classes at the "Groundlings" which is a comedy/improv school on Melrose. Lots and Lots of Groundlings alumni went on to SNL.\n\nok there you go

Go to casting calls and BE NOTICEABLE!\nIf you are a great actor, the people looking to fill parts will obviously notice you and use you for a minor part exposing you to celebs and more casting calls even if you don't have an agent.\n\nThe only difference with an agent, they look and book calls for you. They are legitimate and guarantee you a chance to try-out for a part they have booked you for.\n\nBut many actors today didn't have agents when they were up and coming, they got discovered by being noticed (possessing some kind of essence of what they're doing).\n\n\n...but sooner or later, if you get discovered, you're going to NEED an agent.

a movie extra...the people you see in the backgrounds of films...non union folk its a really boring thing to do...you show up early in the day and stay till late at night...anything over 8 hours is paid time and a half...some days they don't use you at all have a good book or something to keep you occupied until they call you. Most extra casting agencys charge a small fee up front but if they ask you for anything over 50 bucks its a waste...and don't fall for head shot scams they want you to see one of their photographers and he'll charge you 400 bucks for some photos...\n\nlook in the phonebook or search for extra casting...

First off, you cant just think that you can wake up one morning and be put on TV. Its hard work. Second, work your hardest and dont give up. Auditions are usually in Hollywood, but I got an audition for something somewhere other than Hollywood or California once.

You get a union card and an agent...show up for casting calls when they go out. Good luck!

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

check out the shows website, whichever one you wish to be on.  most of them have instructions on how to be a contestant on them.\nsome require you just to answer some questions online, others require you to take some sort of test to prove your knowledge.  pre-testing before you can make it on the show.\nit can take smarts plus personality.  tv is entertainment after all.
