Location: Nottingham
About me...

I live on the outskirts of Nottingham and after working in the commercial sector, I took an acting course and became a television extra. I first started with amateur dramatics over 20 years ago with Carlton Operatic Society and Nottingham Operatic Society performing at both the Nottingham Playhouse and The Theatre Royal.

About my talk...

I have been a television and film extra for 17 years and have encountered some interesting and strange people.
I talk about the rules & regulations, the pitfalls, the jargon, the pay and my experiences.
I use a multi-media projector, lap-top and screen, all of which I will provide.
The talk lasts for 1 hour.

Fee:

I charge £50 plus £10 travelling expenses

My Extra Life

Whether it’s a television studio or film location, “on set” is an exciting place to be.
Being a supporting artist (the official name for an extra) is an interesting life, no two days are the same.
They can be long days, sometimes with a lot of hanging about, but “SA’s” are an interesting bunch of generally very nice people, from all walks of life.

Testimonials & Reviews

Mike kept us all entertained with his humorous and fascinating tales. Sleaford U3A members enjoyed his presentation very much. Well done Mike you were splendid.

Sally – Sleaford U3A – February 2023

 

The group all found Mike very witty and entertaining. The talk was excellent and presented so well. He didn’t have to refer to notes and I did not hear one “erm”. I would highly recommend Mike to any group whether it be a U3A group, History group or a WI group.

South Yardley History Group – April 2025

 

 

Mike is an excellent speaker. We booked him to talk at our local Parkinson’s Support Group. He arrived punctually and set up his own audio-visual equipment (including a screen). He then proceeded to give an interesting and humorous talk about his experiences as a TV extra on shows like Last of The Summer Wine and Doctors for over an hour. Several group member came up and told me how much they had enjoyed the talk afterward. Recommended
