Fastest way for an outsider to become an insider,
By A Customer
This review is from: Back to One : The Movie Extras Guidebook : How to Make Good Money As a Background Actor in Film and TV (Paperback)
I don't know if you can actually make good money as a Hollywood extra (minimum wage for non-union, $86 a day union, commercials pay much higher) but this book is a must for anyone without contacts in Hollywood. Mr. Chambers gives you names, addresses, and phones numbers of just about all the extra casting agencies in town. Perfect for research, getting to know your way around and make a few extra dollars on the side. As an extra performer you will be in front of the cameras before long and with 3 SAG vouchers under your belt, you'll qualify to join the Screen Actor's union. Well worth the investment.

The book that ALL actors and background(extras) should read.,
By Bob Shuttleworth (Los Angeles, CA.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Back to One : The Movie Extras Guidebook : How to Make Good Money As a Background Actor in Film and TV (Paperback)
Years ago I used Cullen's book to help break into the business. I've heeded his advice, studied my craft and enjoyed the benefits that SAG offers as a result of merely studying the 1993 edition of this same book. For the novice, particularly the non-union extra, it's a wonderful tool. It saves money due to it's rating system, also warning of agencies making their bucks from registering new folks at a premium. Just about every area is covered for both old and new in the business. It is attuned to Los Angeles, but this happens to be the only area in the country with a constant influx of talent, with a fluctuating volume of work. I personally have worked with Cullen a number of times over the years, most memorably on Star Trek 'Voyager' and a number of commercials. The only book on the subject I'll recommend.
