Do producers, directors, and casting managers use StarNow to find 'extras'? What I am primarily looking for is to get into working as an extra in tv and film. I am a drama teacher in my 50's, recently made redundant, who has acted on and off all my life, and would love, now I have complete availability, to see if I can get some occasional work as an extra.

Hi Chris, absolutely, we have lots of extras work on site for various projects. When you register with StarNow you have the option of either a Full (paying) or a Basic (non-paying) membership. A non-paying membership allows you to browse our casting calls and receive the latest listings via email, and upload up to three photos, one audio track and one video to your profile. Basic Members can only apply to a few casting calls on the site. These will have a green, apply for free banner across them - however there may not be many of these on the site at any given time. By upgrading to a Full Membership you get a lot more perks: You can apply to unlimited casting calls, Your profile will be seen by casting scouts in our Talent Directory, You can add unlimited photos to your profile and 10 audio/video files and you get 50 contact credits per month, so you can send messages to other members. I'm not sure what country you are based in but you can check out current extras jobs here http://www.starnow.com/casting-calls/actors-wanted/males/

No, producers, directors and casting managers don't use starnow at all, it's a scam. You can sign up with an agency as an extra in your town, easy.
