[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] The way it works in production is that they tend to hire a number of actors as permenant extras to create the illusion of constant background crew members or such; this explains Lt. Ayalla on Voyager, or DS9's Morn. The main actors' body doubles also tend to find work as such (after all, they're already wearing the uniforms for lighting and composition purposes). In the case of the MACO extras, they are probably also hired with an eye on stunt experience, given how many no-dialogue action scenes they're in. Bringing this to the MACOs on Enterprise, since regular stunt people are expensive (anyone remember Dan Madalone, who was almost every male extra killed on TNG and VOY?), the small number of people dressed as MACOs on the ship are constant; this suggests a small contingent, since the same extras are in most of the action scenes we've seen so far. Whoever's running continuity on the ship this time is doing a fair job (at least within the series itself), so they'd probably be able to tell you. Of course, they are deliberately not telling us to avoid the backlash when they DO screw up; we have the Voyager headaches to prove it. Mark Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
