How do you deal with last-minuite script changes?

I'm still in my early climb as an actor and haven't yet had to deal with this, so does anyone have any advice in regards to this just in case (lady luck bless me) I book a TV show or film in the future? Thanks and all the best.

Is there a different process for getting casted as an extra in comparison to getting casted as an actress?
