Featured Background for Netflix Series Free Bert
A featured background casting call is now open for the upcoming Netflix scripted comedy Free Bert, starring and co-created by Bert Kreischer.
The perpetually shirtless stand-up comedian stars as a version of himself in this six-episode series, which follows Bert as his unrestrained antics make his family outcasts after his daughters enroll in an elite Beverly Hills private school. Determined to fit in, Bert decides it’s finally time to put on a shirt — literally and figuratively — and try to suppress his true self.
Production is seeking non-union talent to work as local hires in the Atlanta, GA area (no transportation or lodging provided) . Applicants must have flexible, full-day availability, as exact call times are not yet set.
Pay: $150 for up to 12 hours, plus overtime if applicable.
