#24 is wrong non union extras start off at 72.00 for 8 hours – They get paid full amount even if they work less than the 8 Hrs. Union SAG extras Make I believe it’s 162.00 for 8 hrs, same rule applies they get full 8 hrs even if they work less, I am Union and once I went to a job, they sent 10 union extras, the director came in and said “these people are all wrong I wanted 20 somethings not 40 somethings” So after 20 min we all went home. Still got paid for 8 hours.
Also the average union extra makes a lot more than just the 162.00 there is wardrobe pay, overtime, meal penalties, car bump. The most I ever made as an extra was 1100.00 in one day that was on “Amistad” the Spelberg movie, went into 3 hours golden time.
So saying 60 – 150.00 is incorrect.
