			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yeah, being an extra sometimes is fantastic. Sometimes I&#8217;m in love with being able to be on movie sets and TV shows; the prestige of seeing the $250,000 cameras and hearing the 1st AD yell &#8220;Background!&#8221; before the Director calls &#8220;Action!&#8221;</p>
<p>But sometimes it&#8217;s extremely frustrating, and who do we blame? Well of course we blame the agents. Mainly because it always seems our friends, or co-workers (fellow blurred spots on the screen) seem to be getting more work than us and I&#8217;m always curious why. Why is my look not being chosen? My mind jumps towards it being my agent&#8217;s fault. My agent&#8217;s responsibility that he or she didn&#8217;t submit me and that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m not getting enough work.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m being repeatedly reminded that it&#8217;s a business, and I know it is but the truth behind my feelings is that although it&#8217;s a business, I have such a good relationship with them that I wonder how much of it is sincere and how much is faked.</p>
<p>So yeah, I&#8217;ve got plenty of bitterness towards my agents. Quite rightly so!</p>
