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.

Does it cost money to register?

Registration with Central Casting is free. There are no fees associated with employment.

I have already registered with Central Casting in person to be a Background Actor. Do I need to complete the online registration process?

No. If you have previously registered in person with Central Casting, you do not need to complete the online registration process.

Why do I still need to come into the office after completing the online registration process?

We need you to come in person to complete your registration by taking your profile photo and completing employee onboarding paperwork.

What if I’m unsure about an answer to a question?

Do your best to answer all the questions as you will not be able to proceed without making a selection. Changes can be made when you visit the office.

I’m about to move, what address should I use?

Please use your current address. If necessary, addresses can be changed at any time by visiting our office.

Do I have to answer all questions?

The registration process requires submission of all relevant information. Each page has information that is required.

I’m on a page and can’t continue. Why not?

Each page requires some information before you can proceed to the next question. Check the page to ensure each required field has an appropriate response.

I started registering, but had to stop. Now I want to continue, where do I go?

You may continue by logging in.

I don’t have my own email address. What should I do?

A unique email address is required for each individual to register and build an online talent profile.

I share my email address with someone else. Can we both use it to register?

No. A unique email address is required for each individual to register and build an online talent profile.

Can I register for someone else?

No. You can only register for yourself. At this time, minors must be registered in person.

Why can’t I register my minor online?

Minors have different requirements when registering and must be registered in person. Please visit our Kids page for more information.

Can I email you my information instead?

No. We only accept registration information through our secure online registration process or in person.

Can I email you photos instead of coming into the office?

No. Each new registrant will have a photo taken by Central Casting for their talent profile.

I’m not a resident of the United States. Can I register with Central Casting?

In accordance with federal law, Central Casting is only able to hire those who are authorized to work in the United States.

If I register, am I really going to be able to get on set?

Work is not guaranteed. Registering with Central Casting makes you eligible to be booked for work should you fit the needs of our production clients.

My email address has already been used to set up a profile. What should I do?

Please email helpme@centralcasting.com for help.

How many profiles can I set up?

You can only set up a single talent profile.

Can I register my pets or vehicles to be in movies?

We register you, the individual. As you register, you may add vehicles, pets, and other props you have to your profile.

Once I’m registered, how do I get work?

Please visit our Talent page for all relevant information.

Will you assign me to a Casting Director or an agent?

No, you are responsible for securing your own work. As you submit for different work opportunities and roles, you will likely interact with several of our Casting Directors.

I’ve completed the online registration process but haven’t come to the office yet. How do I make a reservation?

When you log in, you will be directed to make a reservation to complete your registration. If no reservations are available, try again later. New reservations are added regularly and others become available through cancellations.

When do reservations become available?

New sessions open up exactly 7 days from the time the event starts. If all dates show “unavailable,” then sessions are either currently filled or not yet open. Check back often, as spots can open up any time due to cancellations.

I need to cancel or change my reservation. How do I do that?

Please review the email that was sent you from no-reply@calendly.com to cancel or change your reservation.

I did not receive a confirmation email for my reservation. What happened?

If you successfully made a reservation, but did not receive an email, check your junk and other non-inbox folders. You can also search your email for no-reply@calendly.com to locate your reservation confirmation.

What should I wear when I come into the office?

No specific look is required. Please come to our office dressed in the attire that you think best represents you, ready to take your photo.

Is my data secure?

Yes. Central Casting and our parent company, Entertainment Partners, care very much about the security of your data. Please learn more by visiting EP’s website.

When will I be famous?

Don’t worry. When you’re famous, you’ll know.

I’m having technical problems. How can I get help?

Should you have any trouble you can’t resolve, please email: helpme@centralcasting.com. Please include the office location you’d like to register with and your phone number in your email so we can contact you. We will do our best to respond to questions within 48 hours.

What happens 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.

Must bring identification showing date of birth for the Age Verification form.

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?

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.

I just got a haircut, how can I update my look?

You can take a new profile photo at one of your office’s Re-Registration and Updates sessions. Check the Re-Registration and Updates FAQs on the Talent page for more information.

As a registered Background Actor with Central Casting, I’ve been told I need to update/re-register my talent profile. How do I do that?

Updates and Re-Registration are completed in person at all of our offices (Los Angeles, New York, Georgia, Louisiana). Please review our article, When Should I Re-Register and Update?

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.

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.
