Testimonials

"It's great fun being an extra because you get to meet loads of different people and have a chance to meet some stars. Extraspecials found me a part in an advert for the sports magazine, The Score, which starred former Newcastle boss Sir Bobby Robson. I remember Bobby was lovely and took time to speak to everyone."

Carol Pendlebury, Newcastle upon Tyne

"I started being an extra because I had some spare time after my retirement. I never expected it to become such a major part of my life- being an extra has led me to all sorts of new places and has allowed me to meet all sorts of people- not all of them famous! The great thing is never knowing where I'll be off to next, and what I'll be asked to wear!"

Mark, Chester

"Being a student I find the added money I get from being an extra comes in very useful, and I've met people of all ages and from all walks of life which has been fascinating in itself. I've talked about my experiences so much to my friends that they've all joined too- it's become a hobby that I'm paid for."

Samantha, Leeds

"I've been a police officer, a Roman soldier, a male nurse and a seriously-wounded casualty- and that's just in the last six months! Being an extra really has expanded my horizons!"

Albert, London
