For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I was an extra in "Oxford Blues" with Rob Lowe and Ally Sheedy. There was no agent involved (sorry) The ptifalls are: It's life-endingly dull - the waiting around is totally staggering; The luvvies (Rob Lowe and Ally Sheedy in this instance) make you puke. For 5 minutes its quite interesting to see some aspects of film making - from there on in you lose the will to live. In one scene you can see my shoulder for a nano-second in the final cut of the film. A work colleague is with an agency - he says they always need people who are distinctive looking (he couldn't look more italian)
