Some people on this Board [me, @Joker or @Ravers for example) have worked in these jobs and will give you chapter and verse if required.

The money is real, there's a lot of hanging around and the food is usually edible.

All productions are Covid-compliant, so you will be working in socially distanced bubbles wherever possible.

All the jokes about 'fluffers', 'casting couches', 'luvvies' and #MeToo have already been done, long ago and by wittier people.

Do.
Or Do Not.
There is no 'Try'

Merry Christmas Arrserine

Nope, doesn't need one for this work.

Neither have I, been doing occasional Extra stuff since 2002.

If there's an opening for a stressed out, gormless, scruffy , poorly dressed overweight Hillbilly Farmer, then I'm yer man.....

Free food y'say???

<sigh> every time I post one of these, purely for the Good & Benefit of the Troop , I say all the funnies have been done long ago, better and with more wit.

And yet - you persist....

@Oops - if the production wants a 'typical street scene' then guess what?

A salad-dodging hypertensive Lancastrian redneck dressed to the nines from Primani a decade ago may be EXACTLY what they want.

But you won't know till you actually TRY will ya?

Once more , with feeling - for the hard of reading:

Obviously doesn't know about Ravers Cinematic endeavours this last weekend...
All the funnies have been done before eh? Pretty sure Ravers hasn't been recreating famous movie scenes before this weekend.

 

[Edwardian Fred]

Can I wear black nasty across my eyes and a face mask? Don't want to be recognised.

 

[Goatman]

<yawn> ....pretty sure you asked exactly the same question in the thread entitled Casting Call #3/2017?

Fill yer boots bud.

What's an Artist ID Number ? Asking for a friend ( no , really )

What's an Artist ID Number ? Asking for a friend ( no , really )

ID number is given when you register with the agent. Just a filing system, how things work is. A casting director will ask an agent for, people of this sex, age, colour etc. Agent emails all who fit profile "are you available on date", details of those available sent to casting director, who makes final decision.
Turn up at appointed place on time, hang around, drink tea, do what you are told. Fill in paperwork, make sure it's signed and you keep the copy. After a long time you get paid oftain after broadcast or release.
Won't make a fortune but interesting times and some bragging rights.
I once did five days on one job, dog was on 18 quid a day.
