This book is part history, part stories from the Green Room, part tutorial, part info pack, part life on set, part fact, part fabrication; in truth this book has almost as many parts as ‘extras’ have alternative names.

It encompasses historical information regarding agencies, virtues and vices, and the two unions; and the relative experiences, the gripes and the groans of many supporting artists in their twilight world, tight-rope walk existence.

It also includes links and information to many agents and agencies, up and down the UK, in a variety of different fields, that go hand in hand with earning a living as an extra.
