Extras in Unbroken may never be paid.
The financially precarious actor’s life in the Australian film industry just got harder this month for hundreds of Sydney actors who were caught in the shock liquidation of Extras Agency Pty Ltd, sometimes known as Ken Shepherd Productions.
Actors at a creditors’ meeting on Tuesday were told $140,000 owed to more than 230 actors by Channel 7, films such as Unbroken and production companies representing clients such as Armani and Telstra was unlikely to be ever paid.
