 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. The logic behind this stigma is based on the idea of directors associating extras as simply non-actors who fill the background of a given scene. 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.
