Tier-Based Service Fee Structure

 Extras Management (X!M) is a fee-based subscription listing and calling service for background actors. Our fee structure is designed to accommodate a range of availability levels—supporting both individuals who are available to work regularly and those with limited availability. It also reflects our longstanding practice of offering reduced rates to support actors who may not be selected frequently by casting. We offer three subscription options, each based on the client’s standard availability for submissions. 

Standard Availability is the foundation of our availability and submission system. It refers to the specific days of the week on which you are regularly available to be submitted to casting for work. During registration, all prospective clients are required to select and commit to a consistent weekly schedule. Once active, clients may update their availability by phone or email to add dates or mark themselves as unavailable—provided they are not already booked on an existing job.    

The standard monthly subscription service fee is $75, due upon receipt of your monthly invoice. Clients who provide a payment method on file will be automatically charged on the 5th of each month.

Clients with full availability for at least 20 days in a calendar month, based on their recorded standard availability, and who are not booked (either directly or through Extras Management), will receive a $50 courtesy credit applied to the following month’s service fee.

Clients who are booked only once in a calendar month (either directly or through Extras Management) will receive a $25 courtesy credit. Courtesy credits have no cash value, are non-transferable, and are only available to clients with active, fully paid subscriptions.

If you mark yourself unavailable for submissions, or accept work directly through casting that prevents us from submitting or booking you, no courtesy credit will be applied.

Please note that the number of days you list as your standard availability directly affects the number of submissions we can include you in. While increased availability may improve your chances of being booked, all booking decisions are made solely by casting directors, not by Extras Management.

All clients are charged the full monthly service fee upon sign-up, regardless of the start date. A prorated credit, calculated at a rate of $2.50 per day remaining in the sign-up month, will be applied to the following month’s invoice.

Courtesy credits for limited or no bookings begin after the first full calendar month of service.

Clients aged 55 and older are eligible for a discounted monthly service fee of $60. In months where the client is booked only once (either directly or through Extras Management), a $20 credit will be applied to the following month. If the client is not booked at all, a $40 credit will be applied.

For new senior clients, the initial month is billed at the full $60 rate. A prorated credit of $2.00 per day remaining in the sign-up month will be applied to the following month's invoice.

 The CIA Plan is designed for working actors with limited availability or those holding recurring roles who wish to fill in open days between bookings. Under this plan, your profile remains active, your work history remains visible to casting, and you retain full flexibility to notify us of the dates you are available for submissions.

The base fee for this service level is $20 per month, plus $2.50 for each date you make yourself available for submission, with a monthly maximum of $75.
For clients aged 55 and over, the base fee is $15 per month, plus $2.00 per available date, with a monthly maximum of $60.

Clients on the CIA Plan may opt to make themselves available for specific dates individually or set a recurring schedule for one or more days per week. However, this plan does not include a standard weekly availability, and as such, availability must be provided directly by the client—whether on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

Please note:

• The more consecutive days you provide as available, the more frequently your profile will appear in submissions, which may increase your chances of being booked.
   
• Booking decisions are made solely by casting directors. Extras Management does not determine when or how often a client is selected.
   

It is important to maintain realistic expectations when selecting this availability plan. Since we submit talent for future work, advance notice of your availability is essential. Failure to provide available dates in a timely manner may result in missed opportunities for submission.

 Clients who wish to make themselves unavailable for an extended period while maintaining an active profile on the website may opt into the Freeze Plan at a flat rate of $10 per calendar month.

This plan allows you to remain on service without risking the loss of your spot on the roster. Unlike going “off service,” clients on the Freeze Plan do not need to reapply for placement when they are ready to resume standard availability.

Terms and Conditions:

• The Freeze Plan is available in full calendar-month increments only.
   
• If you choose to upgrade your plan or make yourself available for submissions at any point during the month, you will be charged the full monthly rate for the upgraded plan, with no prorated or per diem billing. The new rate will be reflected on your next month’s invoice.
   
• A valid credit card must be on file for automatic billing.
   
• Requests to place your account on freeze must be submitted prior to the 1st of the month.

PLEASE NOTE*

 There are no credits, refunds, or prorated adjustments for clients who change their rate plan or discontinue service mid-month.

All clients are required to maintain a valid credit card on file for automatic monthly billing. If a payment is declined for any reason, your account may be suspended until a valid payment method is provided and the charge is successfully processed. Failure to resolve a declined payment may result in termination of service.
