My uncle was an extra in ONE CRAZY SUMMER. He was a merchant marine at the time. I've never seen this movie (no desire whatsoever), but he said part of him can be seen in one scene.

My mom's best friend had a walk-on role in the movie Message In A Bottle. [I believe that's the title... never have seen the film].

My name appears at the end of the credits on the Clerks II DVD. I had to pause it and look, but it's there. (along with 9,999 others.)

Any movie filmed in Calgary (Brokeback Mountain, Rat Race, Cool Runnings, Snow Day, Assasination of Jesse James, Shanghai Noon, every western made in the last decade, etc.) has a few of my friends as extras in it.

I know Katie Stuart who was in X2 as Kitty Pryde/ Shadowcat, Meg in A Wrinkle in Time and Maria in She's the Man.

Also my best friend has a speaking role is in Save the Last Dance 2...hah. He played the mentor of the main girl's roomate.

Extra jobs? I don't even remember them all.

Speaking parts are something to discuss.

This may count, who knows... my brother's girlfriend's brother is in WE ARE MARSHALL. He's one of the WVU football players.

On another note, one of the lead characters in MARSHALL (Nate Ruffin) is from my hometown, and one of the players who was on the plane is too.

My partner was an extra in Lambada: The Forbidden Dance.

I wish I was joking, but I'm not.

You can see him quite a bit in the nightclub scenes.

I was an extra in Keeping The Faith. I was in a few different scenes. If you look very closely you can see me. It was a lot of fun. I met Mel Brooks on the set.
I am in the Temple scene and the Church scenes. I never had any lines. I had two different outfits on. One for the Temple Scene and one for the Church scene. I also did a dance with some other extras in the Temple scene when the baptist gospel singers enter the Temple but they cut it. What can I say. I was doing it for charity. My fee was donated to UJA. It was a blast. Updated On: 12/22/06 at 11:41 AM

Until you've seen my resume, don't assume to know anything.

You can see me in Summer Catch, and I was on commercials for Sony Connect and American Eagle. So cool.

You certainly are!

She's right, RobbO. Extras do not speak. If you get a line you're not an extra.

A lot of my showbiz friends have been in so many.

But, my friend from school was in White Chicks. Haha. I don't know if he's in the credits, but he throws a beach ball in the beach scene.

My friend's brother had a major role in the movie EUROTRIP. I haven't seen it, but I think the character's name is "Coop" or something similar.
