    I'm a Motion Picture Grip, Local 80. I always feel empathy for the background extras. They go through hell for so little money. And you're right, food it everything to them, because work and money is so spotty in that field. When there is food, they're always hoarding so they'll have something to eat at home, hopefully for more than a day or two. Crazy life.
    Cheers Jordan. I really enjoy your channel. Thanks for your efforts.

    Jordan, I loved this story time! Watching a taping of BBT was what brought me to Burbank the first time. I learned to appreciate everyone that contributes to an episode. Kunal Nayyan (Raj) was the only actor that stuck around to sign my program. He was a lovely person too!

    Great story loved hearing it. My cousin grew up in Hawaii during the 70s and they were shooting a Hawaii Five-O and they grabbed a bunch of kids off the beach including him for a scene and he even spoke on camera and we were watching it at home and we saw him I remember how fun it was to see someone you know on a TV show.

    Miraculously, I got my SAG card in Myrtle Beach SC after I left Hollywood!! A casting company from Wilmington came down and did the casting a the ballet school where I was teaching. Surprise! I did 5 IRS Tax Protestor films. I didn't know they were union until I got my eligibility letter from SAG! It was amazing. One, I was a mother begging for help for my children, another a business woman trying to dodge paying my taxes. It was an amazing experience. I got work in a lot of projects that were filmed in that area; "Shag", "Florida Straits," "Too Young the Hero" to name a few.

    I joined the Director’s Guild around 1974 and it only costs me $750 to join as a stage manager. Years later I became a director and that costs $5000. When I first joined the production company had to guaranteed me twenty two weeks work. That’s a lot to ask for. It did give me a good retirement. I was working on a pilot years ago and Michael J Fox signed on as an extra. Virtually nobody on the set was satisfied to do their present job.

    I did extra work about 6 times when Homicide Life on the Streets was on air. I remember someone who became a friend having several changes of clothes with them. Because I was in a police uniform, wardrobe had fitted us. Went to another trailer for the badge, name plate. Then onto props for the duty belt & finally the blank firearm, had to sign my life away and multiple copies of my driver's license. One of the best things was the food, & we even ate with the cast. Had to be on the shoot about 9-10am through 8-9pm, more sitting than anything. The 5 other times I was called back with having that presence & demeanor. I would do it all over again, I had fun. It was really interesting in what it took to do a show.

    My brother works in the film industry in Manhattan for IATSE as a union Best Boy electrician which means they tell him the light effect they need, he figures out the light schemes, rigs and sets them up for the scene but the one thing he always talks about is the food they have. If you think indoor set food is impressive, you should see what they have when they’re doing outdoor work. Especially if it’s shitty weather cus they just want the crew and actors to stay warm and happy. Side note, my brothers boss is Mike Marona, the older Pete from Adventures of Pete and Pete.

    I was neighbors with a Casting Director in my teens. He hired me as an extra in a movie called Drugstore Cowboy starring a Matt Dillion and James Remar. I made the mistake of trying to speak to both actors while they were sitting next to each other in their waiting chairs; Matt said “get the fuck out of my face”. As I began to walk away, James grabbed me by my arm and said “Sorry my co worker is such an asshole”, referring to Matt. James later gave me an autographed photo.

    What a great story. I had a coworker who lived in LA for awhile and she used to do extra work on her days off back in the 90's. She said she didn't get paid very much but since she was new in town it was a good way to meet new people and it was a cool life experience. Your story was very typical of the ones she would tell. She did say that watching the filming process, although very interesting...completely ruined movies and TV shows for her. Now she finds herself watching all the background stuff rather than concentrating on the main actors.

It was fun in the beginning, but got old really fast. I began to feel like a piece of the set and started wondering why I spent all that money on acting classes! I know what you mean about the craft table. The extras were always the ones grabbing food and bagging stuff to take home! Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience with us.
