Don’t turn down small roles. Some people scoff at small roles or roles as extras. But these minor (and sometimes even uncredited) roles could help you form connections with other actors, directors, or industry insiders, and they allow you the opportunity to impress others with your acting and professionalism. If you’re offered even a small role, eagerly accept it.
- For instance, if you audition for a lead role but are offered only a minor or supporting role, you should take it even though it is not the role you wanted.
