• Answer:

  It really helps to live in the country you are planning on being an extra in a movie in! You're going to have to emigrate to that country and register with their version of extras guild. You're probably better off going to England and attempting a career there, but in Los Angeles, they have an extras union. The choice is really up to you. The chances of getting an extra job on an Irish program are really slim to none, unless you are from Dublin, and you aren't.
