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

Damn, I didnt know being an extra requires so much time. I was expecting something like a part-time job.
