Seen an Ad looking for people, pay is decent but I've never acted. What does it entail?

A lot of waiting around bored out of your mind for the scene to shoot.

I'm doing that anyway without pay.

You wait all day and you can't have your phone. Bring a book or drugs.
You'll be surrounded by whores. Give them some of your drugs.

A lot of standing around and being spoken to like shit. TV is super hierarchical and as an extra, or supporting artist here in the UK, you are the lowest of the low essentially.
It can pay relatively well if you don't consider being very bored hard work. Bring a coat, a book, a phone charger and some snacks, you'll be getting your lunch last.

I'm cool with that, I spend most of my time reading anyway. Any job I've been in has been super hierarchical least with this I'll be outside.

As a beloved pop culture icon and legend of the stage and screen, allow me to impart my wisdom: my dick is bigger than Hal Linden's. I know because we compared them. Barney Miller was MY fucking sidekick. One time on the set of Joe Vs the Volcano I saw Tom Hanks calling Meg Ryan's dog a "little faggot cunt" and feeding it aluminum foil. The fat kid from Good Burger robbed me at gunpoint and after I gave him my wallet he punched me in the face anyways. Fucking nigger.

Surprisingly, Yemana was packing the most pecker.

I was an extra in an Ang Lee failure called Taking Woodstock. It was kinda fun, you get to the location and they do make up/ outfits if needed, then bus people to the set where you just stand around and talk to people and wait for set people to tell you where and when to do whatever scene yourr in, it’s kinda fun watching the movie get made, I actually was just in the area and snuck into a scene at first and got brought on a 4 wheeler to the craft services, and I told another set person they forgot to give me clothes , and then I did it for 4 days and got paid pretty good for essentially nothing

That's the attitude I'm taking into it. An experience if nothing else.

That movie was pretty gay though.

Its fucking awful. As others have said, its a lot of waiting around without your phone. The worst part of it is you will be surrounded by the scum of society the whole time. They will all be mentally ill of some varying degree and all of them will be completely delusional about the future of their careers in entertainment. Honestly some of the worst people I've had to work with. And about half of them don't bathe.

You may end up being an audience filler. A lot of talk shows don't have full crowds of tourists so they hire companies who bring in extras to sit behind the tourists who actually wanted to be at the taping. When the show's over, they'll keep you around to do cutaways and extra cheers that they can sweeten the audio with later. Pay is eh depending on what company you go through.
