Registration FAQs

What is a Background Actor?

A Background Actor or extra is someone who performs in a show in a nonspeaking role, usually in the background. Central Casting registers Background Actors to appear in our legendary database. Every day, our in-house Casting Directors use that database to cast thousands of Background Actors to work on set, often for the following day.

What if I don’t have proper documentation?

Those without required documentation (unexpired originals only, no photocopies) to accompany the I-9 form will be turned away.

What if I’m a member of SAG-AFTRA?

Please bring your current SAG-AFTRA card/receipt issued by SAG-AFTRA with you to registration.

Can I bring my dog?

Guests and pets cannot be accommodated.

Can I still register if I’m late?

You will not be admitted if you arrive after orientation has begun. Doors open 15 minutes beforehand, arrive early to ensure you get a seat.

Are requirements different for minors?

Minors are required to bring the same identification as adults. Visit our Kids page for more information on minor registration.

How long is registration?

Registration is approximately one hour.

Where can I park?

Street and lot parking is available in the area at your own expense. The easiest parking is in the Superdome visitors lot adjacent to Benson Towers. We do not provide validation for any garages in the area.

What should I wear for my photo?

We suggest upscale attire. Please arrive camera ready.

Do I need to live in the Louisiana area to register?

No, but you need to be able to work in the Louisiana area.

I’m registered at another Central Casting location but would like to work in Louisiana. Do I need to register again?

Yes, you will need to register at our New Orleans office to work in Louisiana.

Registration with Central Casting is a privilege, not a right. We respectfully reserve the right to refuse registration to anyone.

Central Casting is a participant in the E-Verify program. We will provide the Social Security Administration (SSA) and, if necessary, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with information from each new employee’s I-9 form to confirm employment authorization. Note: If the government cannot confirm that you are authorized to work, we are required to provide you with written instructions and an opportunity to contact the SSA and/or DHS before taking adverse action against you, including terminating your employment.
