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.

The Central Casting office nearest to me is not allowing online registration. How do I register?

This online registration process is currently only available in Georgia and Louisiana. There is no online registration in Los Angeles or New York at this time. Please make a reservation to visit our New York office with your required documentation.

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.

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

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 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 child?

Guests, minors and pets cannot be accommodated. Visit our Kids page for more information on minor registration.

Can I still register if I’m late?

You will not be admitted if you arrive more than 10 minutes late to your scheduled appointment. Please arrive no more than 20 minutes early to your session.

How long is registration?

Registration is approximately one hour.

What should I wear for my photo?

We suggest upscale attire. Please arrive camera ready.

Do I need to live in the New York area to register?

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

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

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

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.
