Hands, Costumes and Cars, Oh my!
If you are registered with Central Casting and would like to be considered as a Hand Double or a background artist who can provide your vintage or luxury vehicle or a non-trademarked costume on future productions, please email us your photos!
We will upload the photos to your Central Casting profile and will reach out to you if you are a match for future opportunities.
1.) What's a Hand Double? A Hand Double is a person whose hands will be filmed in a scene as a substitute for an actor's hands. This means that in order to be considered as a Hand Double, your hands must match the same skin tone and general shape as the actor's hands. Please take the photo of your hands in NATURAL LIGHT, next to a ruler or dollar bill so we can determine the size of your hands (please see the photo below for reference). Clean, bare nails are best!
2.) Vehicle: In your email submission, please include a current photo of your vehicle, the color, make, model and year. Let us know if there are any dents or cosmetic issues. You can submit any vehicle: van, sedan, truck, motorcycle, etc.
3.) Costumes: In your email submission, please include a current photo of you in your non-trademarked or generic costume.
