Trivia
Jimeoin entertained the extras with jokes and such during breaks in filming, often staying on set until 4am despite not being needed in any scenes. On the final night of filming, Jimeoin made sure he met every extra and gave them a personal autograph.

Crazy credits
The names of every extra appearing in the movie are credited first. Unfortunately, the text is so small, it is impossible to identify them.

A nobody in the movie biz tries to move upward, but simply isn't

Certainly didn't expect this sort great entertainment when I sat down to watch "The Extra". With only 200 votes on IMDb, you're just not expecting anything. This movie really had it's on heart, it's on soul. With the sort of Hawaiian wacky ambient music streaming and the stunningly cute girl starring as Claudia, it's definitely worth your time. Short summary: Some guy with silly Irish like accent comes to the big movie city, tries to make the big time. The beginning starts with the end, though it's not all that clear all the time where you stand in the chronology. Doesn't matter if you don't like this sort of film.

If it stands between this and "Troja" (or any big time Hollywood picture) go with the Extra!
