When they say no experience needed in a job what do they mean?

There's this job for extras in TV shows like LOST, HEROS, AND PRISONBREAK. Do I have to know how to act at all? I've never acted in my life!!!!!!!!! but i want the job.

Answer:
You have to know how to look busy while not doing anything. You have to be good with repetitive tasks, and taking orders. I'd take an acting class, even to be an extra. Even if you're just walking through a scene, You have to know when to walk, how to walk, and the scene you're walking in. You'll have to repeat that same walk until the main actors get the scene right, and you never know how long that will be.

Probably just standing in the background of a scene
You don't need any experience because you are usually in a background of a shot. There are seldom any speaking roles or "real" acting for extras. hope this helps.... to be completely honest due to focusing techniques you probably won't even be able to make out yourself when watching the show. sometimes you can though, and if they like you they give you very minor speaking parts. good luck if that is what you are going for.
I think they are willing to hire anyone and train them to do what they want you to do. As far as extras are concerned, they simply are looking for people who aren't necessarily actors to keep it open to anyone off the street.
