But you know that the bleacher actor #847 of today is the single line actor of tomorrow and potentially one day a leading role.
How do you expect actors to get a start if there's no where to start?
- variants 3y agoThey will start where the next starting line is
- pavel_lishin 3y agoThe next starting line has significantly fewer spaces available.
- wahnfrieden 3y agoYes. That’s what’s being criticized!
- zdragnar 3y agoDoes "bleacher actor 847" actually lend credible experience to getting bigger roles? If I'm putting someone in front of a scene, I don't really think I'm going to care that they've had more or less experience in the background amongst a sea of a thousand other people.

Having extra credits at least indicates familiarity with the film environment. It suggests you can: 1) Arrive punctually. 2) Handle extensive downtime. 3) Repeatedly execute identical actions for many takes. 4) Take basic film direction instructions and so on. For smaller speaking roles (which are generally a prerequisite for larger speaking roles), where consistent delivery on strenuous and fast-paced sets might be far more crucial than pure acting talent, this background can be a beneficial indicator.
