Commercial auditions for kids and adults in Chicago.
Chicago area casting directors have a casting call out for kids, ages 8 to 12, parents and grandparents as well as talent to play store clerks in a TV commercial for Build-A-Bear.
Chicago area talent wishing to tryout for the roles can submit their information directly to the casting directors at Chicago’s 4 Star Casting. The commercial is set to film at the Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, IL, next week on the 9th or 10th of this month. All talent cast will be paid a flat rate of 150 for the 1 day shoot. While the commercial will film in 1 day, casting directors are asking that talent only apply if available for both days as the call date is still tentative.

I would love my son Kane to be considered for this build a bear commercial! We are within a reasonable distance to shaumburg. I have actually been to this area several times!
Looking for acting jobs, I am a rookie but I believe I have some talent as a walk on. I’m a huge fan of comedy, drama and horror.
