Chicago Casting Calls & Acting Auditions

Rate of Pay: $500 for up to 8 hours Plus: $50 wardrobe bump in pay. Parking & Meal provided

Weekend: August 21/22

Covid Protocal will be what is required for filming in Illinois at the time of the shoot. If testing is required, it would be a day or two prior.

In your submission please indicate if you are not available both days. If only one, mention the day you are able to commit if selected. We need to count on you and to be patient during the day and stay until they wrap you. There will be some down time, but you need to stay in holding as usual.

Types: men and women, between 25 and 45 years of age. All ethnicities. Talent will be representing both blue collar installers as well as white collar sales and engineering types. Attractive and in good shape but more “real world” than models. Must look professional with NO visible tattoos or piercings, besides women can have pierced ears.

NOTE: As talent photos and videos may be used in business-to-business print and video advertising they can’t have any talent that have felony records. However unlikely, it would be embarrassing if someone wearing the company logo also showed up in a photo with a police number.

Clothing: Should be able to provide basic options of wardrobe of khakis, slacks and dress shoes. We would also ask that talent bring a couple pair good jeans (no holes) for some photos. They will provide shirts and other attire as needed. If you have work boots, mention in your email. That is a plus.

In addition, if you can DANCE, mention what type of dance you perform in your email. There may be some dance shots or they may get those in other parts of the world.

 

Location: an office building in/near downtown CHICAGO.

“MIDNIGHT OIL” – We’re looking for a few folks to work as street pedestrians with their vehicles. Any ethnicities, ages 18+.

“GRAVEYARD SHIFT” – We’re looking for hospital staff, hospital visitors, motel patrons, and passerby’s outside the police station. THESE ARE ALL OUTDOOR SCENES. Some folks will be booked with their cars for the hospital, motel and police district scenes. Any ethnicities, ages 18+.

“MEDIA FRENZY” – We’re looking for construction worker types, a younger Hispanic/Latina female to play a food cart worker, members of the media team (reporters, camera operators, sound guy), onlookers (some will be booked with their car), and FLEEING FOOD CART CUSTOMERS. This scene will require some reactionary responses from the background working around the food cart, so please let us know if you are not comfortable moving quickly and taking cover. The action may be something as simple as hurrying over to a parked car to take cover – there’s no extensive running or physical activity in this scene. Any ethnicities, ages 18+.

COVID TEST: Sunday 8/1, anytime between 9am and 12pm (noon)

FILM: Tuesday 8/3 – will be a morning call time

PAY: $120/8 + $60 (half day’s pay) Covid testing bump + $35 auto bump (if applicable)

Pay is $162/8 for filming + $81 (half day’s pay) Covid testing bump on any day you’re required to test and not working on set.

Searching for intimidating looking men, all ethnicites, larger frame, 30’s to 50’s, to play a police officer on Chicago Med. You will need to test on Tuesday 8.3 and work on Thursday, 8.5.

No beards, and you need short hair like a police officer.
