>>104589053Oh, there is an NDA. It gets attached in the email when you get hired on for the gig. I do remember signing it once for Daredevil, but weirdly enough I didn't have to turn it in every time I checked in for a show. Once they know you, the production crew assumes you know the rules.
I know some funny stories from on-set, but they stay very tight-lipped to extras when it comes to what the scene is about.
>>104589066The short answer is no. There can be hundreds of extras in a scene, and a lot of them do extra work as a job (which, for $/hr is a horrible pay scale, you'd be better working at McDonald's). Most of them don't know the shows they're on.
I have a clear memory of a man asking me who the superhero was supposed to be in a courtroom scene on Daredevil. I pointed to Charlie Cox. The guy said, "How can a blind guy be a superhero?"
>>104589069I remember mentioning it on 4chan ages back, but there were a lot of people in that court scene, so maybe.
>>104589076Yeah, and it's fun. There are certain exercises for it, but you try to just say something that matches the environment you're in. Or at least have the proper emotion behind it. I remember one party scene I got paired up with this woman who couldn't stop talking about how she knew Michael B. Jordan and how she was going to be a huge deal next year. When we did "walla walla" I just kept telling her how demons talk to me and how the unibomber did nothing wrong, all with a smile. She had to smile back and nod during those scenes.
>>104589118Nope, I wasn't on Luke Cage. And I did talk to some props and production people, but most of that stuff is done before you show up.
>>104589133Dude, that's one of the first things they tell you: DON'T talk to the main cast or the director. Those people are busy and don't have time to chat with an extra. That said, Jon Bernthal spoke to me and a few extras after lunch one time and signed autographs for us.
