Megan Fox was an extra on "Bad Boys 2" before becoming a famous actress.Creative CommonsAnyone who has ever worked as a background performer (generally referred to as "extras") on a film set or television show in Los Angeles has probably heard other extras talking about the stigma attached to people who do extra work on any kind of regular basis.

There is a very common belief in Hollywood that if someone is recognized by a director as a person that was seen working as an extra, the director will only view that person as an extra, and will not take them seriously and hire them as a principal actor. But doing extra work can be of great benefit to aspiring actors.
