IIRC, it was about $8.00/hr. Straight time for eight hours and then time and a half. They also fed us. I also got paid for a little time going in a few days before filming for wardrobe fitting and getting a haircut. All in all, less than $200 and I would have done it for free.
Put it this way, you can sign your own BD! |

Put it this way, you can sign your own BD! No, could you imagine the accounting and administrative nightmare if the extras casting companies had to pay every extra residuals? Besides, how would one cash a check valued in mills? ;) |

Congrats. I'll be on the lookout for you when I see it.

Re: I'm in Public Enemies!
It sounds very smooth.
A friend of mine played a coolie in 3:10 to Yuma. The guy who wrangles the extras told him to run in one scene. The DP would scream, "Who's running in my shot!?" Then they'd do another take, and the same thing would happen again. You can see him running across the screen in one of the wide shots. |

I saw this last night. When you appeared on screen, somebody shouted "Holy Shit, it's movielib!" and everybody burst into applause.

One of the most difficult things was that there was a ton of smoking going on which wasn't very pleasant for this nonsmoker. But smoking was obviously rampant in the '30s and everywhere, even at a Senate hearing so Mann wanted that. One guy got sick constantly smoking a pipe.

Re: I'm in Public Enemies!
In the movie Fletch, or in Chevy Chase? Because I've been in Chevy Chase many times. Oh yeah.
It's my favorite part of Maryland. |

I'm surprised they were using real tobacco. Hollywood usually relies on herbal cigarettes.
I suspect he doesn't give a shit about that PC stuff when he's making a movie. But Mann didn't try to get anyone who didn't want to smoke to do so. The funny thing about the pipe smoker who got sick: he suggested the pipe himself and practically begged to be able to do it. They dug up a pipe from somewhere for him. |

Re: I'm in Public Enemies!
Good for you man. I've been an extra in three movies, but not that prominent of a part. I wish I would have read this thread before seeing the movie. I would have been looking for you.

Re: I'm in Public Enemies!
Movielib, I can safely say, without embellishment or exaggeration, that seeing you was the best part of Public Enemies.
