Let's see how this looks shall we?
I registered as an extra a few years ago, but didn't start to take it seriously until I left my job in May 2024. I've been thikning about freelancing while looking for a salaried job, so needed to generate income from various sources, for example DIY, at which I've become a dab hand over the years.
Skip forward to Sept 2024... I answered an urgent call for a Netflix period drama, and really enjoyed it. Lots of fun people, who clearly love TV and film, more so than I do... trying to work out who the actors are seems to be a pastime... I am not au fait with most actors/celebrities, so I was more interested in just being a part of the background! I got to wear a seriously cool costume, got paid for a haircut (it's a step up from the free ones I usually get from friends), and somehow ended up in the close background of a scene on my first job. (I'm not bothered if my face is shown, although it'd be a nice story to tell, but mainly, I really enjoyed myself!)
I'm currently in the process of trying to register with a bunch of agencies to see if I can get more work like this, and I aim to post some photos here, just for easy referencing later on. Heck, if I end up in the cut, I'll post a screenshot.
In the meantime... here's some stills from my previous appearances on camera in my former life as a normal person... I think I'm aware of all of them!
