UNCREDITED ROLES

Post by salus » Sat Jul 17, 2010 5:57 pm

Does anybody know how much an actor would recieve for appearing in an uncredited roles.? I notice that many of the silent stars who continued to appear in films in the 1930s thruthe 1950s were all uncredited, I find it hard to believe that many of these actors/actresses who starred in films for 20+ years in silents never could get a CREDITED role, very very strange!!!

It depended on whether or not the role was a bit part with lines, or an extra role. Then it was broken down to "business extras", "dress extras" etc.
