Any advice for a background actor wanna-be?

Question:I've decided that I want to be a background actor for film/tv. I'm heading down to Central Casting in Burbank soon to toss my hat in the ring. I was thinking it might be a fun little hobby more than an actual job (I never rely on acting to actually make money). Does anyone have an experience with background acting on here? Any advice? Anything I should know?

Just make sure you don't get scammed. You should never have to pay for an agent or have to take special classes from someone.

Also, when you go to take your headshots/interview/etc. make sure you wear an outfit you are really comfortable in. They judge alot of you on your outfit an appearance, and you really want that to come though in your clothes.

I think the rule is, The more of a wannabe you are, the shitter your carrer will be.
