I have been in over 50 films / tv shows now. However never more than a face in the background.
The best job I have done was Transformers 5, I was a solider on board a helicopter crash and we had to fight our way out of the wreckage alongside Mark Whalberg, was 10 days filming (£500) a day, the funny thing is everyone else was a trained stuntman or retired military. ( real guns, using blanks) I realised I had been mixed up, spoke to the stunt coordinator and told him, he laughed took me off to the side and gave me a quick 10 mins run through on how to handle the rifle and let me carry on.
