Actors are just as hard working if not more so than most of the people out there working from 9-5. If you happen to be a actor in Chicago, you know this is especially true, but maybe you just need to get a little more experience in the industry to help make you more appealing to the casting directors. Movie Extras jobs in Illinois can be a little tough to find, but if you have help from a talent agency, it can be made much easier.
There are always movie extra jobs available for the indie and student films, these might not be as glorious as say some of the premiere films, but these jobs aren’t always going to be around Illinois. The independent films and student films are much easier to locate, these are constantly being shot all over the state and even though they may be amateur film makers, they are in many ways in the same boat as you are and can be a great way to make some connections in the business.
