I'm assuming you get jobs by casting calls so do you think the casting calls are better in NY or CA? Do you have to have an agent to find out about casting calls? If not how do you find out about them?

Join the Screen Actors Guild and get an agent and it will happen.

Since there are more movies/TV shows shot in LA, there are more extras opportunities.
There are sometimes general calls for extras (especially when they need huge crowd scenes), but generally you can sign up as an extra at a casting agency (which is different from a talent agent).

Try Central Casting --Burbank, CA (818) 562-2700
Los Angeles (area) is where Movies are made...you'll need Head Shots (Professional) and what you've been in or done in portfolio style....Provide your REAL age, your real weight, etc., (some parts are offered if you FIT the costume...YES, it can be that superficial).....Make a call & "go for it"

The best way to get work as an extra on a movie set is to show up at a location shoot and hope you get picked.
