A personal note from Jo Kelly, author

I can pretty much guarantee that you will not experience the common newbie scams and you'll be saved from the dishonesties so often foisted upon beginning actors, if you'll take a few moments to read The Truth about Being an Extra, How to Become a Background Actor.

It's in most of us to harbor this little dream of someday seeing ourselves on the silver screen or in a television production. "Wouldn't that be fun?," you might hear yourself saying internally. "I'd hob-nob with the celebrities and my friends would see me in the background of their favorite show."

It could be easy to make that acting dream a reality. Unfortunately, for many people, an alien meteor rolled through their dream and took it all away, including fees paid and time invested. Their time and payments were all for nothing, their hopes were dashed, their dreams disintegrated into nothingness. And, I have to tell you, the uncaring, greedy people who conned them are still out there, scamming other would-be actors.

Do you want to be an actor?

Let me help you! I'll show you how to avoid the roads that take you in the wrong directions, and I'll keep you on the straight-and-narrow path to becoming a successful background actor.

People say my book and the acting tips on this website offer incredible value for people who want to break into acting by becoming background actors (extras) in television and film. In The Truth about Being an Extra, I've condensed my eight years' of experience as a background actor into 120 pages, in easy-to-understand bullet lists and examples, with my own experiences and stories to demonstrate the do's and don'ts when reporting to the set, and complete lists of casting agencies that I know are reputable and will treat you right.

After eight-plus years, I'm still working as a movie extra. I've worked for many casting agencies and I know what they like and why they don't call certain background actors back! (You'd be surprised at the little things that can get you noticed, sent home and called back for more assignments.) As I report to movie and television filming sets these days, I continue to see the demonstrations of the advice I put in my book. I know it's real, it's right on target and it's essential for you if you want to be an actor or movie extra.
