You want to be in the Movies?


Throughout the semester I've been researching websites that allow people like you and me become extras in movies or stars in t.v. commercials. The way I found these particular websites was while I was surfing the web and on one of the advertisements it said "Do you want to be an extra on the Office?" and because 'The Office' is my favorite t.v. show I immediately clicked on it and found out how to become an extra. First you must sign up for this website called, talenthunter.com.

On this website you put your name, a picture of yourself, a summary of your experience, and where you live. The basic networking to get yourself known. Then after you're finished with this task, you wait a couple days and you begin to get e-mails from talent scouts who would like to help you find work. While I was a member (unfortunately, not anymore, because they wanted me to pay 33 dollars a month, money that I'm not willing to give up) I got 5 messages from 4 different scouts. One wanted me to be the lead in a commercial, another wanted me to be an extra in the second coming of Twilight, and the others wanted me to be an extra in t.v. shows, one of them being "The Office," which I would of loved to be a part of, but the only way I could become an extra is if I paid monthly.

So, if you're willing to spend money every month, go ahead and see if it works!
