Fun fact: I’ve been an extra in Ginny & Georgia and What We Do In The Shadows. Not to make this all about me, but I know a thing or two when it comes to being an extra.
It brought me to the thought — how many celebrities have started their careers as extras? Turns out…a lot more than you’d think. Here are 15 celebs that were hidden in the background before reaching the spotlight.

So next time you’re watching a film, keep your eyes peeled — you may just spot the next A-lister! Maybe that’s what they’ll say about me one day…
