There are also some agencies, you have to apply and give your details and describe yourself phisically and even send them a picture.
They contact if they need you in your area and if you are what they are looking for.
Some are:
www.studioextras.co.uk
www.pm-global-services.com
But I never have joined them so any advice will be needed, please0 -

my son & I were extras in 'Catwalk dogs' which will be on ITV soon, we were sent an e-mail from lostintv and asked if we wanted to do it. £50 a day but long boring days doing lots of standing around. there was a guy there who does loads of stuff but it all seemed a bit hectic to me.Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the world together."
FEB challenge £128/£270 balance £142
£2 saving club £1400 -

I signed up to www.filmextras.co.uk and used a promotional code from a friend to claim free membership for 180 days just use the code 180DAYS when asked on signing up and pay nothing for 180 days site seems to have lots of interesting jobs and takes no commission if you find some work.:D0
