A new Philadelphia-area casting call is now seeking male extras to portray mechanics in a garage scene for a nonunion corporate video produced for a cable provider. If you can look comfortable in a shop environment—handling tools, moving naturally, and taking direction—this is a great opportunity to book on-set work through a photos-only selection process.
Below is everything you need to know, plus the best ways to submit photos that match the role.
What Is This Corporate Video Garage Scene About?
This project is a nonunion corporate video for a cable provider featuring a scene set in a garage or mechanic shop. Corporate shoots like this are typically designed for marketing, promotional, or digital use and often rely on authentic environments to make the visuals feel real.
That means casting wants talent who looks believable in a shop setting—less “actor headshot,” more “I work here.”
Who Is in the Cast of This Corporate Video?
No cast is listed because this is a background role. Production is building atmosphere with realistic garage workers in the scene.
Who Is Handling Casting?
Casting is being managed by Katie Griffin Casting.
How Does the Casting Process Work (Photos Only)?
This project is casting from photos only, so your pictures are the audition.
Typical flow:
- Submit clear photos + your basic details (age range, location, availability)
- Casting reviews submissions for:
- Believable mechanic/shop vibe
- Professionalism and reliability
- Fit for wardrobe and set environment
- If selected, you’ll receive:
- Call time + location details
- Wardrobe guidance (usually workwear/casual)
- On-set continuity notes
Because it’s photos-only, being easy to place visually is the fastest way to get booked.
Where Is the Project Filmed?
The location is Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, and applicants must be local to the Philadelphia, PA area.
When Does Filming Start?
Shoot dates aren’t listed. Since this posting is recent, booking may happen quickly. If you apply, keep your availability ready and respond promptly if casting reaches out.

Best Tips to Book a Mechanic Extra Role
1) Submit photos that match the shop environment
Use:
- One clear, current face photo
- One full-body photo in casual clothes
Avoid:
- Suits, formalwear
- Heavy filters
- Dramatic studio headshots that don’t fit the “mechanic” vibe
2) Dress like a believable mechanic (simple wins)
You don’t need a uniform—just realistic workwear:
- Plain T-shirt or henley
- Work jacket, hoodie, flannel, or denim
- Jeans or sturdy trousers
- Boots if you have them
Neutral colors and practical layers help you read as “shop worker” instantly.
3) Mention any real experience (if you have it)
If you’ve worked around cars, tools, or shop environments, note it briefly. Even a line like:
- “Comfortable handling tools and working around vehicles”
can help casting feel confident you’ll look natural on set.
4) Be ready for simple background business
Mechanic scenes often involve repeatable actions like:
- wiping hands with a rag
- carrying a toolbox
- checking under a hood
- moving around the bay area
If you can do small actions naturally and repeat them consistently, you’ll be an easy book.
5) Reliability matters more than you think
Corporate shoots move fast. Talent who shows up on time, follows direction, and stays consistent is the talent that gets called back for future shoots.
