>I'll be the first to admit that adding extras to the cast list seems a little silly, but if you look at the Bagger Vance cast list you'll see things like "Bar Patron (uncredited)", and "Golf Spectator (uncredited)". The day I was there, we had over 300 called. Most were sent away early on, but it was a still a big crowd.

>Now it may be that they decided to add me because I have submitted a lot of goofs and triva, etc in the past. It may also be that they looked at my web page only quickly and were convinced that I was a bigger role than I was. However, I suspect they added me and others for the possibility that I would upgrade to IMDB Pro or pay money to have my head shot added. Actually, I might, but I don't have to.
Well, in Montreal, I believe this is also controlled by the Artist Association. If you have your name in their, you have to be paid higher and under a contract. Otherwise, you're an extra. Extra don't get added.
