I would love to be an extra in Chicago Fire or PD, would you consider someone from out of state? I live in Montana, I’m sure this is a problem. I’m a huge fan of both shows. I’m a certified nurse assistant.

I would love to be an extra on CPD or Chicago Fire . I have no experience in acting at all. I also live in NJ problem I’m sure. But I’ve been a huge fan since the show started. Absolutely love them. Is there any way you would consider a out of state person. I am retired and have nothing but free time. I am about 4 months from turning 60 but look younger. Please consider for one of your best fans.
I have never been on this show. I sent my resume a while ago. Should I send it in again? I am 79 , very active, work out 3 times a week, don’t smoke and on time at every audition.
thank you
