How to play a Zombie in a Zombie Movie
"I showed up, got zombified and waited several hours with the others making zombie jokes before they unleashed us and we got shot and killed a few times but eventually we got to eat some people."
How I did it:
Here’s what led up to it:
Location: living in San Diego
Networking: taking an acting class at a community college
Showing up Location is absolutely necessary. In LA and NY and the surrounding cities, there are ample opportunities for doing extra work. Most everywhere else the chances are dismal at best.
Networking is KEY. Regardless of how talented you are, knowing people is what will get you opportunities. In my case I just took this little class at a community college and somebody in another class passed on that there was a casting call, which brings me to my final topic: showing up.
We’ve got to make time for the things we love. That’s all there is to it.

Resources: Taking a tv/film acting class at a community college (especially in CA) is a great way to meet lots of interesting, and attractive people, and make invaluable connections.
