Today, I share my experiences on Texas Chainsaw 3D, Escape Plan, The Iceman, Olympus Has Fallen, and Straight A's. and what to expect as a background actor or extra. Here are some tips on being a background actor from my own personal experiences.
My experiences doing BG work really opened up my eyes and educated me on how a film set is run. Both in front and behind the camera. I networked and made some great connections along the way and it really helped me in my own journey. Although I don't do BG work anymore, I share some tips and my own personal experiences that landed me in front of the camera.
You'll see me in scenes with Alexandra Daddario & Richard Riehle & Paul Rae in Texas Chainsaw 3D, Luke Wilson in Straight A's, Winona Ryder, Erin Cummings and Michael Shannon in The Iceman, and Arnold Schwarzenneger & Sylvestor Stallone in Escape Plan. You can see all of this under my storytime segments of this video.
