Ever been an extra in a TV series, commercial or movie?

I was an extra in "The Earnest Green Story" in Little Rock. I rode in the back of a jeep in a scene where they were sending the National Guard to Central High. Got minimum wage for the three days it took to shoot it.

My kid was in the background of a political commercial taking place in a diner. The candidate won, so he did his part, LOL.

I could have should have. My dad was an extra in Major League II in the stadium. He wanted me to go with him but I didn't.

My Dad was an extra in a movie about a candidate for president whistlestop campaigning from the back of a train. He was there for two days of filming.

As my Dad said he "ended up on the cutting room floor". He was not in the actual movie.

Netflix is building a big "production campus" in Tinton Falls in central NJ. They purchased the Fort Monmouth site, I'm sure to a star then.
