Atlanta casting company Hylton Casting is seeking background actors for 1990s spring-break scenes on Alligator, a scripted crime series filming in Georgia for a major streaming service.
The notice, posted this week, calls for outgoing adults 18 and older who can bring the energy of a 1990s beach crowd. Roles are split into Spring Break Guys and Spring Break Girls.
Casting Call: Background Actor Sought for Alligator Series
Men of all ethnicities are wanted in a range of looks—fratty, preppy, jock, and others—while women of all ethnicities are sought for preppy and similar beach-party types. The flyer stresses big, camera-ready party energy rather than a narrow physical type.
Work is scheduled for Friday, October 9, 2026, in Atlanta. The listed rate is $168 for up to 12 hours. Submissions go through Hylton Casting’s site at hyltoncasting.com/agtspringbreak.
Related notices add that applicants must be comfortable in beachwear—bikinis or swimsuits for women, swim trunks or board shorts and shirtless for men—and prepared to get wet, including from Super Soaker-style water guns. A parallel model call narrows the age range to 18–30 and repeats the same date, rate, and swimwear requirement.
Alligator is described in production materials as inspired by a true story and set across the 1990s and early 2000s, centered on secrets, relationships, and crime. Casting notices and trade listings identify it as a limited true-crime drama drawn from Mikita Brottman’s nonfiction book, set against Florida’s Panhandle and following two young, deeply religious lovers whose affair leads to murder and a secret kept for 18 years.

Garner and Lewis Pullman are attached to star, with Craig Gillespie directing and executive producing. Principal photography is underway in the Atlanta area and is expected to run from September 2026 through February 2027.
Hylton Casting, an Atlanta-based extras and background company, has issued a steady stream of Alligator calls in recent weeks: college and campus scenes, diner and capitol crowds, period RVs, photo doubles, stand-ins, and specialty roles. The spring-break day is one of the more visible crowd scenes so far, and notices note that friends are welcome to submit together.
For anyone planning to apply, the practical details are narrow: one Friday in Atlanta, a flat 12-hour rate, and a clear comfort requirement for swimwear and water. The production has not publicly confirmed which streaming service will carry the series.
