I'm actually curious about how much do they pay these people for these kind of useless extra roles. Anyone knows?
According to here about $110/day (8 hours) or equivalently $13.75/hour for a unionized extra. A few other sites corroborated the numbers.
That's not bad at all.
Its not at all, its decent money.
I did film for many years but fucked my self over when I lost my Union dues a few years ago. Being in that 'club' you get a streamline of work of your choosing. and just doing background/extra stuff is easy money but for me having small roles was me killing. Having a minor supporting/secondary role and having any words what so ever would jump my pay up to about 18-23/hr. Plus you would be required to work more days (usually 3 days) and get a nice fat check for doing a few hours of work - hell they feed your ass too. Its a nice lifestyle it can just be inconsistent/streaky as hell with work.
