Orthodox Jewish Men Extras

$

*** Union and NON UNION SUBMISSIONS*** 

Must be registered with Central Casting!!!!! 

Must pass COVID test to work. Even if you test negative, you are not confirmed for work unless we send you details confirming the shoot day. 

Taylor is taking submissions for a show that will Test 3/4, Test 3/6, and Work 3/7.

We are looking for Orthodox Jewish men with large beards that can speak Hebrew.

NOTE: As a condition of working on set, all talent are required to get Covid-19 test at a production sanctioned testing facility prior to any work date. 

Must be okay with any form test (nasal swabs, etc). Additional testing may also be done on workdays. While at the test facility and on set, Production requires that a face mask that covers your nose and mouth be worn. 

 This production is requiring all cast & crew, including background actors, to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and to be considered for work you MUST FALL INTO EITHER OF THE TWO FOLLOWING CATEGORIES: (1) fully vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine (meaning more than 14 days have passed since you received both the initial and second shot of Pfizer or Moderna, or since you received the single shot of Johnson & Johnson) or (2) have a disability or sincerely-held religious belief that prevents vaccination.  

If you meet either of the two categories above, please submit WITHOUT PROVIDING ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AT THIS TIME. If you are selected, you will be given separate information on how to provide evidence to the production that you fall within either of the two categories mentioned above. Any job offer will be conditioned on satisfactorily showing such evidence to the production either before or upon arrival on set, as determined by the production’s procedures. 

Failure to provide satisfactory evidence will result in your not being hired for the project and/or turned away from set (as though no offer of work was given).  In such case, you will NOT be eligible for payment because you were not employed/hired.  The production, not Central Casting, will collect your evidence; thus, do NOT send your evidence to Central Casting. 

Regardless of vaccination, you must still test negative for COVID-19 on one or more tests to be arranged by production prior to the first production work date.
