SandyF - Have you ever done work as an "Extra" ? I have, and must say it was fun and boring all at the same time. Sometimes you are required to work through the night (show up at 9pm - get done at 9 am) and most days are 10-12 hours.
The big kick is to "see" yourself in a movie, as you have n0 credits of course. Most of the time it is a split second on screen and can only be really appreciated in frame by frame viewing, but fun nonetheless.
I worked as an extra in 6 movies before the casting company went out of business. Hope to maybe do it again one day.
