Being an extra/background actor

A few years ago I got into background acting as a hobby/"side hustle". I am in a few episodes of HBO's The Deuce as "Lower East Side type" and in the High Fidelity reboot with Zoe Kravitz as "concert goer", among other less notable roles. It is a pretty fun way to spend a Saturday as long as you're patient and aren't expecting to ~make it big~. They bring you in for a fitting and then day-of you and all the other extras are herded around like cattle and yelled at to stand certain places at certain times. Other than that you're sitting in a chair reading a book or talking to the other extras. I made something like $160 an episode back in like 2018- not much but decent if you feel like getting paid to stand on a street corner in a funny outfit which is something I might do for free anyway. My biggest let-down in this era was getting asked to potentially be Jared Leto's stand-in in that vampire movie he was in. They were gonna pay me $500 a day to stand on an X while Mr. Jared was in his trailer. Sigh...

Starting rumors on set

“I think you’re a great DP, I don’t care what the producer said about you“ Among the other extras “You know, they’re not even doing headshots for us. Yeah, on the listing they said they’d do headshots but they lied. They’re just paying us with a credit.” “What? This is a movie shoot? I’m here to hang out. I just saw a lot of people and came here to hang out.”
