“Chicago Fire” New Season Cast Call for Extras – Chicago

NBC’s “Chicago Fire” is in production of the new 2027 season

The show’s casting directors are now booking talent to work as paid background actors on “Chicago Fire“.

“Chicago Fire” is produced by Emmy Award-winning executive producer Dick Wolf, the same man that is behind the very popular “Law and Order” franchise. “Chicago Fire” is now filming the new season in …. you guessed it, the Chicago area.  The show follows the lives of the men and women who work at the fictional firehouse 51. The high octane drama gives viewers a glimpse into the lives of firefighters, paramedics and rescue workers who put their lives on the line on a daily basis. The successful show launched a spin-off  called “Chicago P.D.“  many years back followed by another spin-off  “Chicago Med.”

46 thoughts on ““Chicago Fire” New Season Cast Call for Extras – Chicago”

  1. All of you who have written here, in response to the Extras call, need to read the instructions. They do not care if you are a fan of the show or how many kids you have.

  2. I’m 56 years young grandma and I would LOVE to add this to my bucket list? My daughter thinks I’m dramatic (coming from a 20 year old) so this might be right up my alley?

  3. I’m 65 year old substitute teacher at the juvenile detention center I can be seen in the movie “SHOT IN THE DARK ” FOX SPORTS TV Producer Dwayne Wade and Chance “The Rapper” as the basketball trainer of the Orr HS Boys BB Team located in the Garfield Park area. In 2017 Lifetime “Bringing Up Ballers” as a basketball trainer as well. I’m athletic and capable of acting as well.

  4. I have no acting experience but wouldn’t it be a good story to tell about an actor that auditioned with no credibility and nails our scenes? I look forward to working with you.

  5. I love Chicago fire and am an actress / model. I appeared as an extra on Chicago PD, the TV show. My mom and I watch Chicago Fire all the time. I’d love to be on Chicago fire, it’s exciting.

  6. Live in the city so it’s not a problem being on time to the set.
    Have done modeling and some acting in school. Looking for a job in any show that is filmed in my home city. I am Mexican American and speak Spanish. Hope to hear from you.

    contact me. I’m older and available, 6’4″, white, and fit.

    Please let me hear from you Chicago Med,Fire, and PD.

    1. All anyone can do is just send in the info. Casting directors for large shows will only contact people that they would like to cast. They may not reply to those that do not fit the immediate criteria so basically, you only hear from them if they need you on set. This is an extras casting call and most extras casting directors get way more applicants than they can use. If you live in the Chicago area, you need to be sure to only apply if you completely fit the needs requested (look, age, height, etc.)

  9. I am an African American young lady. I am 17 years old and I have been an extra in Chicago fire when I was younger. I would love to be an extra again. I am 5’6″ and am able to work night.

  10. Hello my name is Rodney Greene, and I submitted my information January 30th at 12:19 am to be booked for the “Mayor’s Office.” I truly would like to be considered for one of the roles, either speaking or non-speaking. I know I would be perfect for the part since I was the City Clerk for Evanston for 9 years. I know the terminology and the function of a Mayor’s Office. I look forward to a call from you. Thanks in advance for this opportunity to once again be a part of this production.

  11. I would love to be a part of this project. I love the show. I live here in the Chicago land area and available for any schedule. I can cry.

  12. This right here would be my dream, whether or not it’s a talking role. I am a local firefighter of my town and would be extremely interested in any role. I live in upstate NY and there really are little to no opportunities!

I’m 60 years old and have worked on Jason Bourne and Godzilla and have experience in action & rescue scenes, i.e. running from gun fire, being rescued from a collasped building by fire fighters etc. I have traveled to Atlanta, LA, or anywhere I’m neede. As a Chicago native I would love the opportunity work on any of the 3 shows. Thank you.
