BACKGROUND WORK IN SHOW BIZ!

The life of a Background Actor can be hours of tedious boredom punctuated by moments of true greatness. There is nothing like watching a real star at work. If you ever wondered why they make the big bucks, it will be answered the first time you see them doing what they do best!

The Western Canadian film industry is on the proverbial brink of a major breakthrough...and you will be a part of the process. The scenery, availability of professional production crews and the ever-improving roster of well experienced principal and background actors all contribute to this success.

When you sign with Talent Inc, you become part of our family. We meet often at Hotel Arts (conveniently located at 119 - 12th Ave SW) for interviews, auditions, special meetings and social events. Special seminars are available to help you grow with the industry.

Cardinal Rule #1: Stay quiet on the set....keep mumbling to a minimum as the Director and crew are discussing the next shot and require quite for the process. Get used to hearing a lot of SHHHHHHH and QUIET ON THE SET.

Important note: If you are on set as a Background Performer and asked to speak a word or a line, this may be grounds for an 'upgrade'. Please ensure that you ask the AD who assigned you the task to give the request to you in writing...then forward it immediately to us for action.
