3. I was standing-in on set for Burn After Reading when the Coen brothers asked me to do some general extra work. They gave me specific directions directly, and I was sure I was about to get upgraded.
What happened next taught me something about how upgrades actually work that most extras don’t learn until they’ve been through it themselves.
IN THIS VIDEO YOU WILL LEARN:
1. What happened when Joel and Ethan Coen gave me direction on the set of Burn After Reading
2. Why I assumed I was getting upgraded
3. Today’s union rates for Extra, Stand-In, and Principal work
4. What actually gets an extra upgraded — it’s not what most people assume
5. What happens financially once you are upgraded
I LOVE HEARING FROM MY ACTING FAMILY ❤️
