Monday Musings - Should you list extra work on your profiles?
from Actors Making It · host Danny Barton
I had a question from regular listener, Christina Kim about working as an extra and I thought it was interesting and worth taking about. The comment: I'm glad you and David mentioned how extra work can still be an avenue to earn income as an actor and be on set. The question: Any thoughts on putting it in your resume/casting profiles/imdb though? I hear casting directors don't take you seriously if you list extra work. In this quick episode I talk about my personal experience around the value of doing extra work, the value of networking in the industry and how I assess whether I should or should not take work as an extra. If you have questions or would like a topic covered on the podcast, feel free to pop me a DM on the Actors Making It Instagram page If you want to follow my acting journey you can follow me on instagram also at DannyJBarton
