Geo in Pa Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Has anyone ever been a movie extra? tell us about it. My wife is onscreen for a few seconds as an extra in 'Smart People' - filmed in Pittsburgh last year. Unfortunately, the movie sucks, but she looks pretty good in a street scene walking next to Dennis Quaid. She is also in the Kevin Smith movie 'Zack and Miri make a Porno' that is coming out in October. Seems that quite a few movies are filmed in Pittsburgh - probably because the city gives the production companies tax breaks - unlike Buffalo.

Bullpen Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Was an extra in the Natural when it was shot in South Dayton as a kid. Got sick and couldn't go to the Rockpile scenes though. Ended up on the cutting room floor anyway. Joe Don Baker was cool though and to my 12-year-old eyes a friggin monster of a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullpen Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I also got a call to be an extra in a commercial with Sydney Crosby, but I turned it down (busy at work). I woulda paid you good money to sweep the fugger's knee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Not a movie, but in the official Woodstock 99 dvd, during Jewel's performance, you can see me backstage. I was a volunteer on the staff and was hanging out back there during some of the performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I was Dirk Digglers rooster double Double!? Don't you mean his 1/1000th? When I was in college approx. 1984 word went around that they were looking for extra's in a low, low, low budget movie called Minges Alley. So a huge amount of people went for a nightclub scene in the movie and, of course, these wannabe actors were all looking at the camera as they filmed making the scenes look like everyone was looking at a camera. So they had to keep stopping and reminding people to "look natural". I stayed at the bar and had my back to the camera talking to a guy. (Because I am If I ever go to Letterman that could be my brush with greatness. This is all I could find on the internet about the movie Minges Alley. The funny thing is that it shows a release date of 1994 which would make it released 10 years after principal filming. While I find it a little strange that it was released 10 years later I'm really not surprised. It is not even listed on IMDB. A friend of mine. Rev. Samuel, directed this movie and I was a script consultant on his movie Schwag the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually done quite a bit of extra work through SAG in the past.... If you're union, it can actually be good money... I know some that do it full time and make a great living... but I don't know if that's possible outside So. Cal. or maybe NYC.... Some of the Movies/T.V. I did as an extra/stand-in: Baseketball Star Trek:Insurrection Man On The Moon American Pie Brimstone Freaks and Geeks (actually worked several episodes of this) Andersonville (worked for 6 weeks straight in Atlanta on this) First Daughter (got to react to Katie Holmes wearing a bikini all day! Hard work!) Third Rock From the Sun Melrose Place Beverly Hills 90210 The 60's (tv miniseries with Julia Styles-she's very cool and friendly) and I earned my SAG card by dressing up as Carmen Miranda in a really bad movie called "Secret Lives of Girls"... it was quite humiliating, but I got in the union and also got a standing ovation from the cast and crew for sacrificing my manhood!!! I also did other stuff including a commercial with Bill Cowher... He's a funny guy, actually.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
