The info in this post is now out of date. Please see the post Hobbit Extras Needed in New Zealand.
Casting for Hobbit extras starts in New Zealand next week.
You need to submit head shots and resumes via post only. Don’t turn up and don’t telephone, you will simply annoy folk and get your file thrown in the trash.
Full instructions can be found by clicking here.
If you go for it I wish you the best of luck.
Please come back and let us know how you get on.

@Jasmin, Hi Jasmin, What do you mean you are in ? In the movie?
Vanessa
@Vanessa, Haha, no, absolutely not. I wish I were, though. What I meant to say was that I’m in on trying to get in and also spreading the word to actor friends of mine. When I made the comment, I was actually slightly worried someone might get confused about that. xD; Oh well.
How much experience do you think i will need to get in as an extra? I don’t have much experience but I would be very committed.
In the land mordor where the shadows lie.
Im in Christchurch now where should it be?
@Patreo, at least you are in the right country. Tryouts
are just a dream for those of us who are continents away.
i really wish i had a resume, i would love to be a part of this :/
how do i apply?
I want to know how to apply but I hope I am not too late. Does anyone else know? The pop up boxes don’t seem to want to load the information anymore..
how old do you have to be to be an extra?
I’m guessing minimum 18 years old.
@Digit23,
Wouldn’t they need children too, to be children. I’m 13 and I really want to be an extra.

Yeah, is it too late to get involved in any way?
@Jasmin, Hi, I thought that is great. Sorry! I wish I was in it too! Plus never say never ?
