Justified: City Primeval
Emmy-winning series “Justified”
There are many big names attached. Background Talent on this needs to stay amazing! Let’s make this THE best show. We do not start shooting for at least a couple of weeks. However, we need to select our Police in Uniform and Tact Talent now. This will allow costume department to order your uniform and assure that it fits well. You don’t want the wrong size and they have to ‘hide you’. No…you will want to work a lot on this great opportunity.
As on all of these big shows now, we need to comply with COVID guidelines as long as we have them. Covid testing is located at Chicago Studio City. All Zone A actors/background will be required to be fully vaccinated with booster. You will bring your vaccination card to their office before or after testing, per Sony policy, They can only accept ‘in person’ cards. Please do not email them.
Rate of Pay is the standard $120 for up to 8 hours, plus time and one half overtime PLUS $50 covid stipend. $30 for up to 2 hours for costume fitting. Free parking as usual. Chicago area.
We love our ‘real’ cops. However, the budget is paying the regular extra rate for everyone due to the volume we will be casting. If you are ‘real’ and willing to work at the regular extra rate, please note that in your submission. From time to time, we may ask for a few ‘real’ in addition. This post is for the regulars that we need to count on.
Please email a couple of current color photos (current hair) of yourself with no sunglasses or anyone else in the photo (even if you are on file with us). Clean shaven is preferred, along with clean cut haircut.
We will most likely film until mid-August. If you can make yourself totally available, please indicate in your email. If you have just a few commitments and would still like to be considered, mention the dates you are not available. If selected, you would start in the first episode, which starts shooting in a few weeks.
There is not much more we can say right now until after our meetings as offices are just now opening up.
We need ALL of your sizes including height, weight, jacket, shirt, pants, shoes. Give us your best cell phone # to receive texts. This number will be in the RABS system for payroll and check in. We found it to be the most reliable for tracking. SESSIONS PAYROLL will be cutting the checks. We found them to be one of the best. Let us know if you have any visible tattoos or anything we should know about that could affect your role.
Our Erika will be our Costume professional working with Wardrobe Department. Our Torri will help you with Covid Guidelines and work with compliance team. Andrew and Pat will be assisting also. Only the best for the best! They are very professional and will be a pleasure to work with. Darlene will be conducting all of the Background Talent and Stand In casting.
We should also concentrate on mostly Illinois tax residents for their tax break.
