extra

Extras perform actions in the background or in crowds during filming. They do not contribute to the plot directly but they are important to create a certain atmosphere.

The most in-demand skills for this role include act reliably, harmonise body movements, express yourself physically, act discreetly, follow directions of the artistic director, perform scenes for filming. These are the skills O*NET identifies as most important for competent performance.

Our AI-durability model gives extra a score of 0.50 on a 0-1 scale (higher = more exposure). That places it at moderate AI exposure — some tasks are being automated but the role adapts. Learning to work with AI tools rather than against them is the path forward.
