I was in a Norman Wisdom film in the 60's.
I've watched it several times, but never seen myself, must've been cut.
It was filmed just down the road from me

I haven't personally but years ago a few of my friends were extras in 'First Knight' because they knew the people who were supplying the horses and they needed riders.

Years before that my husband's ex-wife's father was an extra in 'Far From The Madding Crowd' and apparently got some lines.

I've been an extra in a TV show but not a movie. I worked on "Green Wing" but sadly my scenes all got cut!

it was a very fin experience as i'm a student and its very good money for what you're actually expected to do as i have no acting experience! i managed to be in a scene with quite a few of the big names which was sweet.

Does being wanted in Crimewatch count?

I was an extra in some daft film that was being cast near where I used to live. They wanted to do a scene in my local pub at that time and all the regulars were asked if they would just act 'normal'. Now this wasn't a 'normal' pub. No one could ever get barred from it. There was no such thing as closing time, people often fell asleep in there and ended up sleeping on the chair all night and females stripping to the waist on the pool table was common.
The people making the film said they would buy us as much alcohol as we could consume that day and we all agreed.
I cannot remember the name of the film, nor do I know if it ever went any further. Never heard of it since.
