Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: i'm not quite sure of this but, If you get your self known around the area by director's and actors and do a great job on set and being in movies and stuff is what you are good at and really want i bet it could happen!! Good Luck!! :]Www@QuestionHome@Com Being an extra in a movie does not offer any direct career advancement although it can help you become a better actor!. When you list that you were/are an extra on a resume it does not mean much to casting directors considering hiring you!. Being an extra allows you to see how a production set works, what the main actors do, how the director works, etc!. This can prove to be invaluable experience and allow YOU to become a better actor!.

Being an extra might also help you attain SAG membership, which is eventually very important for an aspiring actor!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Dont!. you have to start at the right track!. Even the smallest speech, but an ACTOR!. No one ensures you success (only scammers!)!. And even more, you have to define “success”!. First, make yourself clear if you want either a JOB or an artistic activity that will make you happy!. If you want to be "famous" to make money, you should differentiate that being notorious is not necessary being talented, or, even worse, it will make you compromise many ethical things that you might not like to do or act in plays that you dont really like!. The commercial circuit not always cross roads with the pure artistic lane, so you have to be focused in what you deeply wish!. Be professional!.
