How can I work as an extra on Disney Channel?

Because Im only 13 do I need to start on disney channel to work my way up?

  • The reason I ask is because I see a lot of young people like china on A.N.T farm, on disney channel. And Im just beginning acting. So please help again.

  • Answer:

    Absolutely not - stay away from Disney! Hardly any of their actors ever succeed as adult actors because they're taught bad habits and the style is exaggerated and unrealistic. That's no good for serious, adult acting at all! You need to get into a good class, get lots of experience and ideally try for a place at a top drama school after high school.

Start on Disney? Actually, Disney is where you end up if you are lucky. It isn't a place to start, it is something you have to bust your posterior for years to get to. But if you never do Disney, there is no reason you can't do other things. Disney is not a requirement. it is just a goal many young actors share. Disney stars (the big ones) actually stick with Disney for a long while, rather than moving up/on. Partially because their contracts require it, and partially because Disney creates a sort of artificial stardom that only can continue if Disney continues to market it. Once you leave Disney, you might find out you were only as famous as they told people you were.

none of the actors you see started with Disney. they worked for years before getting on Disney. you need to work your way up to things of that caliber. your not going to start there. you need to start with acting classes and work your way up.

Hell no. Do community theatre, so much more enjoyable. :)

No, all you have to do is go to an audition at any age. You don't have to work for a few years only to be in movies, and believe me, you wouldn't when you're old want to be known as the boy who worked in Disney. Good Luck, hopefully you're more successful than charlie sheen.

You barely ever see Disney Stars on any thing else. I certainly wouldn't become one. There careers always go no where. And if your just starting out, you cant go straight to TV! Look for community theatres in your area, and try out for places with them. Then maybe after 4-7 plays, try out for a dinner theatre. What I'm trying to say is work your way up.
