To get work, you need to join an agency.

You may catch sight of some stars – but no autographs or photographs.

The agency will charge 15% of the £75 or so a day you are paid.

My best job was doubling for Penelope Cruz.

Britain's most popular temporary job is being a film extra.

Spielberg directed his first feature film in 1971.

It's good money but there's a lot of hanging about as usual.

He has had plenty of offers of work since he joined the agency.

We're on location today instead of filming in the studio.

There may be several “takes” for each scene in the film.

My phone's been ringing non-stop (not when I'm on set of course!).
