There is a new TV show casting call and casting directors want you to apply to the audition! WGN is now accepting submissions for background actors for season 2 of their series “Underground”. “Underground” is set in 1857 and follows a group of slaves who make the dangerous decision to plan a daring escape from a Georgia plantation to journey 600 miles north to freedom. The casting team is looking for ten Caucasian male actors. Five of the actors will portray anti-slavery activists and five of the actors will play pro slavery activists.  The series is filming in Savannah, Georiga so local actors are needed.

WGN’s Underground Casting Call

UNDERGROUND: For this Friday, we need the following background actors:

*5 more Caucasian Male Anti Slavery Activists

*5 more Caucasian Male Pro Slavery Activists

If you fit the above description and can join us for filming this Friday, and for a wardrobe fitting tomorrow afternoon, please let us know asap.

Pay rate: $68/8.

Background actors need to be local to Savannah GA, or can work as a local (meaning you have local friends/family that you can stay with) as production will not pay for travel.

If you would like to apply for a role, you should create a profile at www.makescenes.com, using the activation code: railroad. If you already have a makescenes.com profile, simply add the new code to be registered for this show: add the code, “railroad”, then click “add project”, then click “save info” (code = railroad). BE SURE TO UPLOAD A PHOTO! We can only book you if we can see what you look like (photo does not need to be professional, just current. A current cell phone photo is fine). Once you have completed that step you should send an email to undergroundextras@gmail.com with the heading of the role in which you are applying: ex: “Caucasian Male for Friday”.
