Can anyone become an extra?
You don’t need any training to be a supporting artist (FilmExtra).
Anyone can be a Film Extra, regardless of their age, shape or colour. In fact, often it’s the people who consider themselves to be too plain for film, that are most in demand!
The important thing is to be able to blend into the background in creating authenticity and atmosphere in any scene.
You can register for an account on FilmExtras if you are over 16 years of age.
If you are under 16 years old, consent will be required from a parent or guardian, and certain regulations apply concerning how you are allowed to work.
Although you can still get extras work if you are under 16, you will not be eligible to apply for an single user account on FilmExtras and must apply for a Family Account.
With a family account you have the facility to create a profile for every member of your family, each of which will be listed in the Extras Directory.
You'll also get listed in the Family Extras Directory with a family profile and as with the personal account, you have the option to create profiles for your pets to be included in our Animal Extras Directory if you wish
