It's not like they are offering you a starring role, so don't start fantasizing about your Academy Award just yet. But you do have a shot at being an extra in the upcoming Tim McGraw movie. It's called Love Don't Let Me Down and is about a country songwriter who has been trying for a comeback, which her husband (McGraw) is not totally sold on. Gwyneth Paltrow plays the has-been. The extras they are looking for have no speaking parts (think "the girl in line at Starbucks"), so you don't need any experience. Although they are also looking for guitarists, fiddlers, drummers, bass players and steel guitarists, so if you are one of those, definitely start practicing and bring your instrument. You just need to go to the Musician's Hall of Fame in downtown Nashville on Saturday (Dec. 12) between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., and bring a recent snapshot (4 inches by 6 inches) of yourself -- and a pen. Filming will start in January in Nashville.
