Extra Etiquette: Important Tips for Film & TV Extras

On behalf of expertvillage.com, my name is Paul Lewis and I'm Rodney Smith and we are here to talk to you about how to become an extra for TV, movies and commercials. One of the things you have to remember when you are working in motion pictures as an extra, you will be surrounded by celebrities at times; sometimes very well known celebrities.
