AD/CD - Advice for Background Actors

Want to be a successful Background Actor? This installment of AD/CD features Assistant Director Michele Azenzer Bear and Central Casting Los Angeles Casting Director Nikki H.
Michele Azenzer Bear graduated from Cal State University Northridge with a degree in Radio/Television/Film. Michele has recently worked as a First Assistant Director on shows like Besties, The Great Indoors, and Mike & Molly.
Nikki and Michele offer background acting advice to help you become a professional Background Actor. Whether you’ve been on set hundreds of times or are trying to get your first booking, knowing what’s expected of you is a big part of being successful.
“[Come] to work with the intention of contributing to the production,” Michele said. “I look for Background Actors who actually want to be there, who listen, who follow directions, who understand what it is they can lend to production.”
People work background for a variety of reasons, from wanting to be principal actors to getting a chance to work on their favorite movies and TV shows. If you make the most of your time on set, you never know where it might lead.
“Something I would want to tell every Background Actor is every show is a new beginning, it’s a new chance to really reinvent yourself,” Michele said. “You just never know what a new day is going to bring, it could be a new opportunity.”

Great information and advice... I definitely agree some sets I go on the energy from crew can be frustrating at times but I learn to not take it personal.., especially knowing everyone is human. I love working background, I Love the food and I Love the people I meet; so much talent under one set ❤️. Thank you so much for this video 🙏🏾❤️
