  • You will first have to join up an agency, it could be either a modelling agency, film and television agency, something a long the lines of media and anything that has to do with camera's. When you join, they will ask you what jobs you would like to do. e.g. i want to be in acting (commercials), modelling and extras in films. So when a job comes up, the agency will notify you and you must attend the casting for the movie/commercial, if the client likes you.. BAM!!!!!!! you got the job. :)
  • You can also keep a look out for ads in the paper, websites and movie-related news outlets. Many times, if a movie is being filmed in a certain area, such as a town or city, and not a studio, they will ask for local residents and volunteers to come try out for extras casting. Its actually very simple, though the pay is usually slim to nil. As was already suggested, you should try finding an agency. There are many talent agencies out there that specialize in commercial acting and extras casting. You should also get a professional portfolio with several 'headshots' that are basically modeling photos. Headshots usually get you noticed.
  • Craigslist.com always has postings for Extras.
