FYI extra work is not easy money... it's sucky money. You work long hard hours for diddly when you're starting out because you're non-union and you get jack for your time.

If you're over 18 go here:
http://www.centralcasting.org/LA/actors/registration.html
http://billdancecasting.com/
http://extrasaccess.com/
Central and Bill Dance charge a fee to join and yes that is normal for companies that hire extras. They are not 'agents' they are companies that do a service and that's that. ExtrasAccess is new to me. It's an offshoot of ActorsAccess which is more for people looking for principal work and even though I've never used it, I trust it because of the people it comes from. Getting started is free, I'm sure there's a fee along the way somewhere, but I've never used it so I don't know where that comes in.

If you're under 18:
http://kidsmanagement.com/kids.html

As for acting classes, if you have no money good luck there. You can look at ads in the trade papers like backstage. You can also look here:
www.workingactors.com, click on actors, then on training

I make no guarantees about the legitness of the classes, you have to check them out for yourself since these places pay to be listed (same as placing an ad in the trades) but some of them have websites you can check out.

good lucK!
