Can someone who works only as a SAG extra on a regular basis on TV shows and fil!


Question: I have a neighbor who only plays nurses as an extra, and has only had one speaking part in five years. She tells people she's an actress and has "this project or that project coming up" when she doesn't even have a credit on the show or film and the most she does is walk across the set and hand someone a clipboard or pretend to hook up an IV. She doesn't do any other work, but is she being honest when she tells people she's a professional actress? Don't actresses have lines? I mean, isn't she just step above set dressing and props on the totem pole of show biz?

Sure she can say she is an actress. The only thing that would be dishonest of her is to go around telling people she had leading rolls and stuff like that, but as long as she is only telling them the truth about what she does on the shows I see no problem with her stating that she is an actress. What would you say her profession is called if not acting? Even if you are not credited in the show does not mean you are not on it?
