Producers for ‘The Originals’ are seeking kids for a scene filming this Friday, March 7th and Tuesday, March 11th.
Tammy Smith Casting is looking for kids to portray werewolf extras. They are looking for kids with longer, shaggier hair and girls that have hair longer than their chin.
The Originals is a spin-off from The Vampire Diaries and set in New Orleans, The Originals centers on the Mikaelson siblings, otherwise known as the world’s original vampires: Klaus (Joseph Morgan), Elijah (Daniel Gillies), and Rebekah (Claire Holt). Now Klaus must take down his protégé, Marcel (Charles Michael Davis), who is now in charge of New Orleans, in order to re-take his city, as he originally built New Orleans.
There is a ton of information regarding the casting call. Please make sure to read all the details before applying. For more details see below:
For the “The Originals”- Kids ages 5 to 11 needed ASAP
***PLEASE READ CAREFULLY- there is a LOT of info to know that is important BEFORE you submit ***
Casting KIDS, ages 5 to 11, ALL ethnicities
to be Werewolf extras for this coming FRIDAY 3/7 and then also this coming Tues 3/11 and possible another day the following week. NO modern haircuts. Boys with longer, shaggier hair is a plus and girls should have hair that is beneath the chin or longer
NOTE 1: You MUST have an open schedule to submit kid(s) for this, because our schedule can, and often does, change and once we establish the kids on Friday, they have to match the other days!! Please do not submit your kid(s) if they cannot be available with a reasonable amount of notice for any of the weekdays within the next few weeks. Also only ONE parent or chaperone is allowed on set with a child and no other children (siblings or friends that are not hired) are allowed to “come along”
NOTE 2: all of the kids to be average size for their age (i.e. we cannot use 11 year olds that are as tall as adults, etc..)
NOTE 3: This scene involves being part of the werewolf village and explosion takes place. NO children will be near the explosions or any danger, whatsoever. HOWEVER a few of the kids need to have some acting ability to react to a shocking situation (seeing a “parent” werewolf that has been injured quite badly), SO, IF they have any acting experience, whether it be plays or film or commercials, please describe experience or attach a resume only IF they have one (not required, but will be a plus for the featured kid). ALSO, a few of the kids may need to look bloody for the aftermath part of the scene when people are being “treated for injuries” within the scene.
NOTE 4: the pay rate for these kids will be $80 for 8 hrs with O.T. after 8hr ( Kids can only work a 10 hr day max, ever). The featured kid to react in note 3 will be $100 rate instead of $80. There is also a $25 bump for blood if a decent amount is applied- and also note that we will dress anyone that involves any blood on clothing, so not to worry.
NOTE 5: Selections need to be made ASAP and this is TIME SENSITIVE , AND you MUST have easy access to a printer/scanner today- the labor board normally requires a 5 day advance to process work permits required by the state for all minors to work on a film or TV show and they will make an exception for this episode- the work permit application needs to be completed by us by the end of the day, no exceptions!!
