Some people think it's an easy gig working as an extra, but you often have to stay very concentrated for long stretches in challenging conditions.
From Gina Bellman
In England, I've never had to drive myself to work. I don't think the English producers trust actors to get up at five A.M. and get to the set on time.
My average day on 'Leverage' starts at 5 A. M. and ends 12 to 14 hours later. An hour drive to the set and back sometimes makes the day unbearably long. You have to grab a few minutes to yourself where you can.
One of the things you have to get used to, working on a TV show, is filming out of sync.
One of the things you have to be acutely aware of when shooting episodes out of order is your character's relationship with the other characters.
When I get a new script, I write a record of how many costume and make-up changes I have. I cross-check them against the shooting schedule and then consult with the hair and make-up designers.
