Life as an Extra

Many people dream of working in movies or on television. Some people do this, but they
are not famous and are usually only on the screen for a few seconds. These people are
the "extras," the actors you see behind the main actors. They might be part of a crowd or
someone working in an office scene. So, what is it like to be an extra, and is it a good way
to get into movies? We spoke to Jon Jefferson, who has spent 30 years working as an
extra.

‘When I started, I thought it would be a good way to earn some extra money, but the pay
was not as good as I thought, and I had to pay for my transportation to reach the place
where they were filming. Another problem is that the work is not very regular. You never
know when a movie studio will call you.

‘A typical day involves a very early start and a lot of waiting. You should bring a good book,
as you can’t listen to music on the movie set. In fact, you can’t make any noise at all! The
weather can be a problem – you may find yourself standing in the cold for hours or wearing
a large costume on a hot day.

‘Of course, there are good things too – you learn all about how a movie is made, which is
the reason I still do it. You also get free food on the movie set. But the most exciting
moment is afterward when you see yourself on the big screen. But don’t be an extra if you
want to become a professional actor. The director won’t suddenly see your face and
choose you for their next movie!’
