Deservingly so, movie extras are also known as background artist. While artists they may be, their only roles are to remain silent and simply blend in with the background. Sometimes they go beyond that and actually interact with the actors in a short scene, these are members of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG). Members of SAG are usually those who have speaking roles. The beauty about being an extra is that no experience is required, and with that, comes movie extras of all backgrounds, color, and creed. Directors will often add extras with special talents such as: dancing, juggling, things of that sort to blend in with whatever is relevant at that scene of the movie. Sweet gig.
