I have always had a love for acting. Today I went to my first movie casting call. They told me they wanted to talk to me at their office tomorrow. Interesting. I wonder what can become of this? I hope I can become an extra in the movie. Perhaps I could get a line? Maybe wishful thinking?

Good luck with it; it could be a start of something bigger than any of us can imagine. I've always wanted to act as well, but the opportunity never presented itself... or perhaps I was just lazy and never bothered to look, lol.

That's nice! Don't forget to tell us how it was. Do you know what the movie is about?

Good luck Brian. I was an extra in both Ferris Buellers day off and A few good men. I was in the Marine Corps when A few was made. I was in the back ground marching when Jack N walks past talking with Kieffer Sutherland. Of course I wound up on the editing room floor. I'm in the parade scene in Ferris Buellers day off. Yeah that was me.
Seriously Good luck with your pursuit. I hope to see you accepting a best acting Oscar some day. Or better yet after you hit the scene I hope they start calling it "The Brian Award"

Good luck Brian!
Extra work is a lot easier to land than speaking parts, particularly if there are a lot of productions shot near you. I have been registered with an extras casting agency for about 9 months, and in that time have worked on around half a dozen major motion pictures, a few movies of the week, and some TV shows. Next week I am finally going to get a chance to be in a particular show I watch regularly, which will be fun. They shoot a lot of stuff in this area so they always need people. I was on a movie last summer they needed thousands of extras for. Extra work is fun, but the pay is low and the hours are long. The money gets better if you have a "special skill" they want you to use (eg. riding a horse, juggling, etc). It's a good way to get some exposure to how a set works, though. If you really like to act and have the training, casting calls for speaking parts and an agent or agency that will help you get them is the way to go. -Reg {*}

Wow, I am amazed at how posts just jump right up from nowhere. Its over a year and a half now since the casting call came. I went, nothing happened really. They made the movie and won top awards at the Cannes film festival. So I have heard. Since then I have put my cinema dreams on hold. Magic is my primary focus, well besides God, family, and girlfriend.

That is enough to keep you busy for a lifetime.
I would really like to get back in to local theatre producyions again, but it is indeed that time factor.
