New Show Filming in Atlanta Seeks Paid Extras

Job Position(s): New Show Filming in Atlanta Seeks Paid Extras

Central Casting is currently seeking paid extras for a new television show filming in Atlanta, Georgia. Background performers on this project will work on set under the direction of the assistant directors, appearing in scenes to populate the world of the production and support principal photography. This role suits performers who are comfortable with the rhythms of episodic television production, including early call times, holding areas, and the patience that background work genuinely requires.

About the Role

This is a background performance opportunity staffed through Central Casting, one of the most established extras casting operations in the industry. The project is an episodic television production shooting in the Atlanta area, a market that has grown into a major hub for film and television production over the past decade. A typical day involves reporting to set, going through wardrobe and holding, and being placed in scenes by the AD team as shooting progresses through the day’s pages.

Key Responsibilities

• Report to set on scheduled shoot days according to call sheet instructions provided by the production.
• Take direction from the second assistant director and background coordinator regarding placement, movement, and continuity within each scene.
• Maintain wardrobe and personal appearance consistent with the look approved by the costume department across multiple takes.
• Hold for action and cut as directed, keeping background movement natural and consistent with the established scene geography.
• Remain available in holding between setups, which is standard practice in television production scheduling.
• Follow all set protocols, including those related to personal electronic devices, confidentiality, and safety.

What You Bring

• Prior experience as a background performer on film or television production is a plus, though not strictly required.
• Ability to work flexible hours, including early mornings and potential hold times common to episodic television shoots.
• Reliable transportation to and from production locations in the Atlanta metro area.
• Comfort taking direction on set and adapting quickly to changes in the shooting schedule.
• Professional conduct consistent with the standards expected on a working television set.

Why This Role

Central Casting is the go-to background casting company for major studio productions across the country, and getting into their roster in Atlanta puts performers in the path of consistent work across the region’s active film and television production slate. This particular project offers paid work on a new episodic television production, which means real set experience and a credit that carries weight for performers building their resume.
