I just spent the morning in a 'cattle call', something I haven't done in over 20 years.
For those outside the film industry it is usually called an 'open casting opportunity'
When producing a film there are usually hundreds of people needed to fill in the background of various scenes. They need to be dressed and made-up for the time period of the film, and be ready to perform the same actions many times until the director is satisfied with everyone’s performance.
The film (The Infiltrator) started shooting in London last January, proceeded to Paris, and is scheduled to be concluded in early May at Tampa. It is a story about the exposure of the Colombian drug lords.
As always the casting concluded with 'Don't call us, we may call you'.
If anything interesting comes from this I will post a follow-up report
Not as exciting as staring 'The Chaser', but I take what I can get

I have met people who have been extras in films. Not surprisingly, one of them sells tickets at my local movie theater.
