East Enders extras
joe gillott
19-10-2014
Now we currently have: Tracey, winston and Marie and gaynor (up to January) but the Eastenders list of characters on wiki also lists
Michael - played by Michael leader
Harry black
And glen james

Who are theses? And do they still even appear?! They are not in the year character lists and I'm curious as to who they are and when they appeared.

I remember he had a fiery scene with Bianca (or someone) because they didn't want milk.

That article is from 2001, so he must be 60 now. Apart from being the milkman, he's one of the regular extras who can often be seen in the background in the pub or walking along the street. He's the one with long silvery hair and a thin reddish face.

I wonder how much the extras get paid? I wouldn't mind a go at that. I expect the extras still have to be reasonable actors to blend in at the background without staring at the stars etc.

Harry is one of the market traders and was often seen in the ring at the gym this is the best photo I can find of him

I like the way the extras are used in EE, it's what makes the programme unique for me, the fact that some have stayed with the show for years and are recognisable as their characters.
