Being in extra in a TV series or movie takes patience, ability to listen and work on short notice. That’s just a few of many things you need to keep in mind if you want to work on set.
In this article, I’ll tell you everything you want to know about how to become a movie extra in Atlanta.
Atlanta is #1 when it comes to movie and TV production. There are a lot of ways to get money in Atlanta, like being a movie or TV extra and yes, even becoming an actor.
This article is going to show you what you need to do to become movie or TV extra. I’ve been doing extras work on and off for the past 10 years, including on the sets of some top BET shows as well as Tyler Perry movies.How To Become A Movie And TV Extra In Atlanta
If you want to work as an extra in movies and TV, you need to find out what’s filming. Metro Atlanta has become a hub for movie and TV shows, especially with film mogul Tyler Perry Studios back in action.Being an extra is quite different from being an actor. An actor is a trained professional, while an extra is a contract worker hired on the spot. Here’s how to become an actor.How Much Do Movie Extras Get Paid?
The amount that movie extras get paid largely depend on the project. Most film companies pay an hourly rate to film between eight and 12 hours a day.The typical pay for an extra in Atlanta is around $60 for eight hours of work, but it could be as high as $100 or $200, depending on what they ask you to do. (Sometimes, meals are included).1. Network In The Film Community
You need to be able to find movies and TV shows that are filming throughout the city. One of the best resources for that is to begin networking in the local film community.You should sign up for things like workshops and look in on informational panels having to do with films. Atlanta has a number of organizations that nurture talent in front and behind the camera, including extras.why not try to attend a yearly film festival this year? Atlanta has several good ones you can use to learn more about the industry. They include:- Atlanta Film Festival
- Jewish Film Festival
- Bronze Lens Festival
2. Find Top Casting Companies In Atlanta
After you feel that you’ve learned some of the ups and downs about the industry (and you still want to be an extra) it’s time to find some jobs.Casting calls can be found a variety of places. Sometimes, the movie studio will post about casting calls on its websites. Mainly, they can be found in trade magazines and websites like Backstage.com.One great place to find casting calls is on the websites of casting companies. Here are some of the top casting companies that hire for Atlanta movie and TV productions.On the websites of the casting call companies you will be able to register and submit your information. In some cases, they may ask for a head shot or want you to list relevant experience if the part calls for some specificity or a certain skill.After you’ve applied for some extras roles, a waiting game begins. If you get a call, then they may ask you to show up to a specific location to be fitted or to do other preparations.If you don’t receive a call to come to filming, you may try another option…3. Attend Open Casting Calls
You can also attend “open” casting calls, which are those that don’t necessarily have specific needs. Some movies and TV shows just need large amounts of people or a group of people to make a scene look busy.One example of this is the airplane scene in Flight, which Denzel Washington played lead actor in. I was an “airline passenger” in the movie, which was partially filmed at Screen Gem Studios in Atlanta.Here’s the scene, which simulated a plane crash. As you can imagine, the people had to scream and make a fuss.There’s rules to everything, of course, and when it comes to being an extra, you’ve got to adhere to some common restrictions if you want to succeed.4. Be Professional
When you’re on the set, you’re going to have to behave yourself if you want to remain an extra. That means no asking the stars for a selfie.Of course you want to be human, but if you’re starstruck, it may be hard for you to restrain yourself and keep your composure. When it comes to being an extra, the production assistant will likely tell you what is and isn’t allowed on set. Try to obey. In most cases, the rules look something like this:- No picture-taking
- No talking on set
- No gum chewing or eating
- No mingling with the talent
So many people who have thought they would use being an extra to get into acting have blew it by not being able to keep cool while filming. Don’t be “that guy” or “that girl.”5. Beware Of Scams
Unfortunately, when it comes to entertainment, there are always some literally bad actors that try to take advantage of people looking to be on the big and small screen.Casting calls are rife with scammers looking to exploit inexperienced people. Don’t fall for it. Here are some casting call scams you need to avoid:Casting Calls Asking For Payment
No legit casting call company will ask you to pay them to be in a movie or TV show. The way it works is that they pay you. It’s a scam.
Vague ‘Modeling’ Jobs
If a casting call or audition reveals very little information other than it’s “looking for an adult for modeling gig” or something like that, it’s super suspicious and shouldn’t be trusted.
Real modeling jobs will state the employer, address and location of the casting call and relevant details such as the time and pay. Always research modeling jobs before you submit your information or go to them.
Inappropriate Requests
Similar to vague modeling jobs, beware of casting calls that ask for inappropriate requests that weren’t specifically mentioned in the casting call.
If the casting director asks you to do something that involves nudity or a bedroom scene and it wasn’t revealed in the casting call, you might want to get out of there.
Read more about casting call scams.
Last Words
If you want to appear in a big budget film or TV show, it’s easier than ever today, especially in a city like Atlanta, Georgia.
Being a movie or TV extra is a great way to earn extra money, but it’s not for everybody. In many cases, you may have to be on your feet for long periods of time.Also, many casting calls may reschedule at the last minute or require you to wait in long lines before filming begins. On the other hand, it’s pretty cool when you see yourself on screen. Also, you can make some great friends in the business. Check out our Casting Section to stay in the loop.If you want to be an extra for money, sorry, but you won’t get rich. it can be a stepping stone into acting, but you’ve got to stand out and be good at what you do.As for money, if you want to know some other ways to earn extra income, here are some top strategies you can do at home.Interested in other ways to save or make money?

Former Atlanta Hawks legend and NBA hall of famer Dominique Wilkins has signed on as an investor and partner with Roots, the only real estate fund that creates wealth for both investors and renters.
What Is the Roots Real Estate Fund?
Roots is bridging the city’s wealth gap by giving its Atlanta-based renters the opportunity to get invested in the fund for paying their rent on time and taking care of the property. They also have given Atlantans free rent.
By aligning the interests of everyone involved, Roots is providing significant returns to both its residents and investors alike. Since launching in 2021, Roots has raised over $33 million in investment capital from over 6,000 investors nationally.
“Roots is providing the opportunity for anyone to invest in real estate,” said Wilkins. “I love Atlanta, and as long as the wealth gap keeps widening, generations of people are getting left behind. We can change that at Roots, and I feel like this might be the best team I’ve ever played on.”
Wilkins will share his likeness in videos and at curated gatherings to introduce his spheres of influence to Roots and its one-of-a-kind “Live in it Like You Own it®” proprietary program.
Roots has changed the rental landscape by incenting its residents to take care of their properties and pay rent on time in exchange for earning rental rebates. Residents are invited to invest their initial deposit and quarterly rebates in the Roots REIT thereby investing in the properties they live in.
By following the program, renters are growing their wealth by an average of $3,600 in just two years and up to $10,000 in five years.
“Dominique is exactly the person we wanted to join us on this mission. He’s an Atlanta legend and cares deeply about this city and its people. I grew up watching Dominique lead the Hawks to victory and his endorsement means that we can reach more people both on and off the court,” said co-founder and CEO Daniel Dorfman.
Atlanta has one of the best real estate markets in the country, with affordable housing in every quadrant of the city. Large backyards, manicured parcels and strong neighborhoods with ample dining amenities make it one of the top places for transplants.
Not to mention that the city’s dining scene is the best in the Southeast. Looking for a home? Check out our Real Estate Resource Page.

Veteran Atlanta reality star Kenya Moore has been suspended from filming Real Housewives of Atlanta following allegations that she displayed pornographic photographs of new cast member Brittany Eady at her hair salon opening party earlier this month, according to multiple media reports.
The alleged incident was reportedly captured by Bravo cameras. Eady has been accused of making threats toward Moore before the hair salon opening, allegedly using the word “gun.”
According to news outlets, Bravo is still reviewing video of the incident and more consequences for Moore and the brand may be forthcoming.
Bravo was filming the event for the 16th season of the long-running reality show, which is expected to air in 2025.
Moore responded to the reports with a statement on social media, saying, “I would never engage in revenge porn, I have never distributed private images or footage of anyone, nor solicited images owned by others to use to threaten or blackmail. I have always been vindicated. I can’t talk about STORY even with people planting fake news.”
For her part, Eady took to social media as well, telling fans on her Instagram Story that, “It’s never a good feeling being targeted or HAZED BY SOMEONE I thought would embrace me into a new circle, that I never met.”
“For the record, I’ve never once had possession of any weapons or threatened anyone ever. I’ve never been to jail, in [a] fight, or even had as much as a speeding ticket,” Eady continued. “That’s not my character. I am hurt by the narrative that’s being displayed. Wrong is wrong.
Some people may be confused about what even is revenge porn, so let’s break it down for you.
What Is Revenge Porn?
Revenge porn is the distribution of sexually explicit images or videos of individuals without their consent, often by an ex-partner, with the intent to harm, humiliate, or blackmail the subject. This malicious act is typically motivated by a desire for revenge following the end of a personal relationship.
In many jurisdictions, revenge porn is considered a serious crime and can lead to legal consequences for the perpetrator. The laws and penalties vary by location, but they generally aim to protect the privacy and dignity of individuals against such violations.
Final Word
How this all shakes out is anyone’s guess. Moore joined the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta in its fifth season, which premiered in 2012. As of 2024, she has been a cast member for approximately 12 years.
Atlanta reality TV shows showcase the best and worst of the city, but they have a following unlike anything we’ve seen in modern times.
TV executive Mona Scott has created an urban juggernaut that is single-handedly keeping VH1 afloat.
On Bravo, the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” franchise continues to be a perennial winner among millennials. The bottom line is that people want to see Atlanta on TV.

Tyler Perry Studios Is Hiring Right Now: Here’s What You Need To Know
Perry has long made hiring for diversity and inclusion a priority. Since his studio reopened, Perry is in need of movie industry professionals. He’s also hiring professionals to maintain the facilities.
But let’s be honest: You want to be work in the movie business. Here’s how to get Tyler Perry Studios jobs:

- Go to the Tyler Perry Studios website. That’s where you can apply by clicking on either “Production Resumes” or “Operations/Facilities Resume.”
2. For movie production jobs, send your resume to this email address: production_resumes@tylerperrystudios.com
3. For operations jobs, send your resume to this email address: careers@tylerperrystudios.com
Of course, Tyler Perry Studios jobs won’t just come from filling out an application.
Here’s what Essence Wallace, who worked at Tyler Perry Studios, says about getting a job with the movie mogul.
As far as the process for being hired at TPS — or any job in film and television production for that matter — it’s all about WHO you know. Networking isn’t my strength, per se — BUT I learned to master the art of building relationships. One great relationship will KEEP you working in this industry. It starts by getting out and surrounding yourself with people that are working — like being willing to work for free on independent projects and going to workshops or seminars to develop your craft.As far as Perry is concerned, he puts a lot of importance on make hiring decisions that reflect the community, especially given the lack of representation in the movie business.
This is what he told CBS News:
“I know for a fact that when I drive in through these gates, onto this 330 acres and see these 12 sound stages, and see the highway sign that says ‘Tyler Perry Studios’ as you’re making to the exit in here, as I come in here and I see these hundreds of people working, these black and brown – I’ve been on sets where I’ve been the only black face on, only black face, as recently as 2019 going, ‘Where are the black people in this movie?’ Back behind the camera? So, when I come to work here and every black person that comes to work here they go, ‘Oh my God, it’s heaven. Here we are. We’re represented.’ Where everybody’s represented. LGBTQ’s represented. Black, white, gay, straight, whatever. We’re all represented, working hand-in-hand, arm-in-arm.
Tyler Perry also gives job opportunities to students. Here’s how to get an internship with Tyler Perry Studios.
Wallace, who is now with The Chosen Productions, says the key to getting hired to work on a Tyler Perry Studios production is to immerse yourself in the Atlanta film community, particularly the Tyler Perry Studios environment.
“I’ve rarely seen anyone get hired from submitting a resume online and having a formal interview – not that it doesn’t ever happen. It’s just simply not the norm for someone pursuing a career in film and TV,” she says.
“You have to set your goals, decide the types of projects you want to work on, and then find opportunities to engage with other like minded individuals,” she tells AtlantaFi.com. “I know this is not the answer most people are looking for, but I’ve helped more people get jobs just by helping them connect with the right person vs. focusing on their education and background.”
By the way, Wallace says The Chosen Productions is also accepting resumes for all positions at thechosenproductions2014@
gmail.com for upcoming television shows, films, and documentaries.With more than 700 movie and TV projects just in the last few years, the film industry has generated more than $9 billion for the state of Georgia.There are so many movies filmed in Atlanta these days that it’s hard to keep up with it all.

Vice President Kamala Harris is making another visit to Atlanta. She is partnering with rapper Quavo on an Atlanta gun violence summit. During the summit, Quavo and Harris will talk through solutions to decrease gun violence in America.
The summit takes place Tuesday, June 18, the anniversary of Takeoff, Quavo’s nephew and fellow Migos group member.
Just last week, Harris was in town addressing the 100 Black Men of America, Inc. This pivotal stop was to discuss economic empowerment with the audience, underlining the importance of the event.
The discussion, moderated by comedian Steve Harvey, focused on economic opportunity. It was not an endorsement from the 100 Black Men of America, Inc.
“It’s about giving people the opportunity to compete, to allow hardworking individuals to not just get by, but to get ahead,” said Harris.
The stop was part of Harris’ Economic Opportunity Tour, which has included influencers, business leaders, and government experts who share information including specifics on capital available now for entrepreneurs.
“While in Atlanta, I kicked off a nationwide tour to meet with entrepreneurs and let folks know how we are advancing economic opportunity by lowering costs, supporting small businesses, and investing in the aspirations of all Americans,” Harris posted on social media.
“President Biden and I are focused on removing obstacles to economic opportunity as we build a nation where every person can thrive. It was an honor to discuss our Administration’s progress with Steve Harvey and the leaders at the 100 Black Men Conference.”

A new mixed-use development, Lulah Hills, is set to rise in some of the most prime real estate in DeKalb County. To make way for the project, North DeKalb Mall, is set to be demolished on June 26, 2024.
Real estate developer Edens, along with Decide DeKalb and elected DeKalb County officials, have scheduled a press conference on June 26 to kick off the demolition of North DeKalb Mall.
What Is Lulah Hills?
Lulah Hills is a 73-acre mixed-use destination that will feature 320,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, 1,700 multi-family units, 100 townhomes, a 150-room hotel, and a trail connecting to Emory University. This project is being spearheaded by Edens, in collaboration with Decide DeKalb and DeKalb County officials.
The Demise of North DeKalb Mall
North DeKalb Mall, a major shopping destination for two decades after its opening in 1965, is now largely vacant, with only a Marshalls clothing retailer and an AMC movie theater remaining. Located about three miles northeast of downtown Decatur, the mall has been the subject of redevelopment talks for years as its retail spaces have emptied and its corridors have grown darker.
The Future of the Site
Edens plans to transform the North DeKalb Mall property into a diversified town center called Lulah Hills. Preliminary renderings suggest that this mixed-use lifestyle complex could resemble Halcyon or Avalon in Atlanta’s northern suburbs.
Completion Timeline
The first phases of Lulah Hills are expected to be completed by 2025.
