Gotta wonder if he's made a comfortable living doing that.

Cool... The trick is having a good agent that can keep on getting you work.

I tried out for that in my 20's with a very respected agency in Vancouver and was told I'd make a good "crowd face". I was kinda insulted, but this is what this guy does. He doesn't look overly <insert an ethnicity here> so he's perfect crowd scenery.

My nephew did that for a bit...he's very fit so usually if there was a jock in a movie, or someone egging on a jock, he was cast as in a bunch of movies that were filming up in BC (the new Tron and A-Team a few years back come to mind).

Only now, with the economy the way it is, most U.S. productions are staying in the U.S. so he's had to go get a real job. :D

I think he said he got $650 a week, $725 to be a stand-in (you get to stand there while the producers and cameramen work out their angles on you, measure your face for focus, exposure etc), and he usually worked for a couple of weeks for a given 2 second scene.
