The Gilded Age is now in production for it’s 4th season.
The popular series films in areas of New York as well as Rhode Island. Those who live in the area can make some extra cash by working on set as paid background actors.
The cool thing about being an extra on these period shows is the costumes. Who wouldn’t want to dress up like it’s 1882 and enter the glittery word of high society ballroom and halls… and get paid?
There is no travel covered so submissions will only be considered from people who are local and can get to the set on their own. Furthermore, no acting experience is actually required, however, you may need to fit into specific costume sizes.
According to newyorkupsate.com, The Gilded Age will be filming in Troy from June 9-10 and it is currently filming in New York City. There will also be filming dates in Newport, Rhode Island, also.
