The WGN series is filming in New Mexico and looking for folks with a flexible schedule to work as recurring extras this spring and summer.
The show’s casting directors at On Location are seeking people who are available to work on an on-call basis between this month and the latter part of July. The show films in Santa Fe, so please only apply if you are local to the area as you will need to be on set with very short notice. The show is set in the 40’s so talent must not have modern hair styles / colors or any tattoos / piercings. Talent selected will need to go in for a costume fitting and ladies costumes are sizes 2 through 12.
“Manhattan” tells the story of the race to build the first atomic bomb and the scientists involved whose lives become forever changed. The show follows the lives of the scientists and their families as they try to build the most destructive weapon known to man and the secrecy that surrounds the project.
