Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Your picture should be recent (not more than two years old, max!.) and you need a resume showing ANY dramatic experience you have had!. Plus agent if applicable!.

Contact details!.

A 'can-do' attitude, positive, smiley!.etc goes a long way, as does not taking it too seriously!.

On the actual shoot date BE ON TIME! Calls are often for 7 am with a long 10 or more, hour day!. It gets BORING, so bring a good book, PS2 or other small game (even cards) to while away the time!.

Follow instructions carefully!. There is a mind-set to being in films, and those who are good at it, get called again!.

Good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You don't usually need to audition to be an extra in a movie!. Usually extras will be selected because of an age, ethnicity, gender need in the background, and you can be chosen from your photo!. Maybe the person just wants to see if you will show up on time and they are holding an "audition" for that reason!.

If you are chosen as an extra, before you begin work, you will need the identification component of the I-9 for hiring employees in the U!.S!. That includes either your passport OR a (1) drivers license and a (2) birth certificate or social security card (not just the number, the actual card)!.

Your extras company might ask you to provide that ahead of the day of the work!.

A picture and a good attitude!. Should you get hired, remember to bring a book to read!. There's a lot of "hurry up and wait" or standing around on a movie set!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
