How do you become an extra in movies?

An extra is a performer who’s not the main character in a movie, TV show, or commercial, but who has a role in the scene.  In general, the easiest way to get a movie job as an extra is to find a local casting agency, or an agency that handles extras, and let them know that you’re interested. They’ll send you out to auditions and call you when they have an opportunity.

Great, any other advice?

Extras are usually paid very poorly for their work, and have no control over how they are used in the final film.  Be aware that it can take months or even years to get a real job, so make sure you’re willing to be patient.
