Landing a
paid role in a film alongside big-name Hollywood actors may be as easy as
surfing the net.
Paid extra work is being advertised
on Gumtree, with an ad posted this week for The Railway Man, starring
Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth.
The movie, due for release next
year, needs Caucasian men who are very thin to play prisoners of war and
Japanese/ Korean men to play soldiers.
The job pays $20-25 per hour, with
filming on the Gold Coast in June and July.
V Management's Tiffany Fon-Lowe said
men aged 18 to 35 interested in The Railway Man should email through
photos today, for casting auditions for tomorrow.
Fon-Lowe said it was an opportunity
to get six weeks of work and it was "possible'' they could meet Kidman.
Don't despair if you don't fit this
bill, talent agents say there's work available for many different types of
looks.
New Farm talent agency Ego
Management manager Gillian Samuels said producers need a range of looks for
extra work.
"Extras are meant to be
background people and not meant to be recognisable so they're not featuring
them in any way,'' Samuels said.
"There's no criteria about what
you look like to be an extra. It's about creating a crowd scene.''
She said potential extras should be
mature, have professional headshots and be flexible with their availability.
