You would have the option to work from one day up to all seven if desired. Days average 12 hours, can occasionally be shorter, but more often longer, and pay is $100/12 hour, overtime following. If you can use a few hundred extra dollars, provide your name, phone number, and dates you would like to work to Lissa Brennan, Extras Casting Director/Warrior, at 412.232.7050, or email fourthrivercasting@yahoo.com. Lissa says that they need a lot of people, so pass on this information to anyone who may be interested.
An article in today’s Post-Gazette says there have been some instances in which a local company offered people chances at working as extras–for a fee. Casting agents say that this is not exactly illegal, but it is a bit of a scam. There is no need to pay a fee to work as an extra–just contact the casting agent directly.
