Just wanted to share my fun. They are filming the TV show revolution in Austin and I got to be an extra. I have been on set a total of 6 times and may be in episodes 211, 212 and 213. It was so fun. The pay is only $8/hr though.
We are not supposed to talk to the stars, but I have been near most of them in those 6 days.

Do you have to avert your eyes and never let your head be higher than theirs too?

They just don't want us distracting them. Some of them can be a bit focused and there have been over 1000 different extras so far this season.

And pray tell.......why is everyone not going on strike protesting the lack of a living wage? You guys should be making at least $15 an hour and guaranteed 40 hours a week with five sick days available!

And at least three weeks of vacation, a pension that is twice the poverty level, and lifetime free medical. Not likely, but now needanewjob has the credentials to put Actor on their business card.

CA mountains this weekend, the folks who are shooting a film at our cabin put an article in the paper looking for extras.
It's a low budget film so no $ but I'm sure that the experience will look wonderful on your resume!
