Question:

How can you become a roadie for a band or an extra in a movie?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Roadies are usually friends of band members, so you would have to become friends with local bands. As for being an extra, if you join a talent agency (reputable. SAG/AFTRA affiliated.) They will be able to find movies in your area being filmed. If you live in California or NYC, where most films are filmed, then you will have a better chance. Studios will not fly background actors to the set if they don't live in the general area.
