first of all, if you want to be an extra, you really need to have a lot of money. You sort of need to quit your job where you can be standby. I mean, say you have to be a scene as an extra. You might have to wait for a good 4 hrs, before u are going to be in a scene for 5 mins. and then wait another 3 hours. you get paid and all and there's tons of fun people and food but I can't see how a guy will get to take a full day off their full day's work to do that.

take classes. You need to learn how to act, period. I mean, you have to know for the basics. I can't see how a person who has never had an experiences go thru an audition successfully.

You might not be ever famous but a guy, say "ING direct" guy / rogers guy, makes decent coin even though he does a few commercials every few months. It's just really luck that you get picked.

I mean, do go chase after your dream. have fun with it. you get to meet a lot of fun people. there's a lot of local production. my friend has been consistently involved for a long time. GREAT pay, but you need to manage your expenses.

romeo must die: jet li is so so so quiet
I-robot: filming under the UBC pool with the car being underwater
Tron 2: for all those nerds u shoudl know what it is
a lot more other productions but yeah, my friends loves the parties but also a lot of drugs... ahahahha
