'42' recruiting extras

So you wanna be in the movies? The crew for the Jackie Robinson biopic "42," starring Harrison Ford, Chris Meloni and Chadwick Boseman, needs 500 extras a day to fill the stands at Engel Stadium when filming begins later this month.

Filming will take place May 21, 22, 24, 25, 29, 30, 31 and June 1, 4 and 6.

Extras receive no pay, but they do get lunch and the chance to win prizes, including trips to Jamaica and Cancun, iPads and featured extra roles.
