365 Things To Do In Austin, Texas: Be an Extra On Friday Night Lights

By
Real Estate Agent with Moreland Properties

I have been so excited to blog on this idea since day one but had to wait until the time was right - so here we go. The highly acclaimed TV series "Friday Night Lights" is seeks PAID, yes paid extras!

They begin filming  Wednesday April 7th and will film throughout the Austin Area until August.

 Throughout the years I have had several friends participate and all have said it was such a fun experience. I think most people love the idea of having their own 15 minutes of fame and Friday Night Lights is a pretty reputable show to say were an extra in. Who better to play extras in the a show about Texas Football than Texans!

 Some specific types we are seeking include:

Russell - Let me assure you not much I think that it pays $7.95 an hour or something! I would like to do it just for the experience! My friends say that it is really fun and then we actually saw them on the episode so it was a good laugh for all of us!
