Casting Call: Popular TV Show Filmed in Chicago Searching for Extras

One of TV’s most popular shows needs extras and who knows, it might be you.

Chicago Fire has been filming for years in the Windy City and has leaned on its residents local and or otherwise to help fill in as extras or stand-ins.

This is no different as three different extra opportunities just got posted as Chicago Fire is looking for help.

Searching for a MALE LATINO, dark hair, 5'7" to 5'9, 150 to 175 lbs, to work as a standin (same height and skin color as actor to use in place of the actor to light and camera block the scene) on Monday, Feb. 26th.

Searching for a MALE LATINO, dark hair, 5'11" to 6'1", 185 to 210 lbs, to work as a standin (same height and skin color as actor to use in place of the actor to light and camera block the scene) on Monday, Feb. 26th.

Since I was curious as to how much a stand-in would make on Chicago Fire I found this on Project Casting “Competitive day rate, commensurate with experience.”

Unhappy with that response, I found Reel Chicago providing “real” answers.

They mention compensation of “$195 for an 8-hour day.”

If true, not bad for one day of work. If interested, check out the Chicago Fire Extras on Facebook.
