There are some things you need to know if you are considering doing work as a TV extra. If you want to learn from the experience of being a TV extra, pay attention to everything... especially if you are working as a stand-in. Pay attention to the process. Instead of talking with other extras, stand-in's or whoever else is around, watch the director, the actors, the crew, etc. Try to pick up as much of the terminology as possible when you work as a TV extra. When the time comes for your first role on a major film or television show, you'll know what to expect and what is going on, and you'll be better prepared for the experience.
As a TV extra, don't expect to be prominently seen in the final product. There is a reason why a TV extra is called "background." If you are doing TV extra work with the hopes of being easily seen on TV or in film, it's probably not what you want to do. Most likely you'll catch a quick glimpse of yourself somewhere in the background of a shot.
Other than that, have fun and enjoy the experience of being a TV extra. Do TV extra work if you are interested in how the process works. You'll meet a lot of great people and probably make a few friends along the way.
