How To Get Casting for Georgia Movies and TV Series
For aspiring actors looking to dip their toes into the industry without a speaking role, becoming a movie extra—also known as a background actor—offers an accessible entry point. But success isn’t just about showing up; it’s about strategy, patience, and professionalism. Here’s a guide to thriving as an extra in the Peach State.
Step 1: Get Registered with the Right Casting Agencies
The first hurdle? Getting noticed. Georgia’s extras market is competitive, but you don’t need an agent to start—many opportunities are open to self-submitters.
Focus on reputable Atlanta-based agencies that specialize in background casting. Top players include Central Casting, the nation’s leading background actor hub; Hylton Casting, known for innovative approaches to film and TV gigs; and Set Life Casting, which handles everything from features to music videos across the state.
Besides, AtlantaFi.com, other standouts are CAB Castings for reality TV and scripted shows, and Casting TaylorMade, which connects extras to a network of TV and commercial jobs.
Pro Tip: Follow these agencies on Facebook and Instagram for real-time casting calls—many post opportunities daily.
Websites like AllCasting and Backstage also aggregate local gigs, making it easy to submit headshots and measurements from your couch.
Aim to register with at least three to five agencies to increase your odds—it’s a numbers game, after all.
Step 2: Nail Your Submission and Wardrobe Game
Casting directors sift through hundreds of applications, so make yours pop. Include a clear headshot, full-body photo, and essential stats: height, weight, clothing sizes (shirt, pants, shoes), age, ethnicity, and any visible tattoos.
For specific calls—like airport passengers or dinner guests—tailor your photos to the wardrobe requirements, such as business casual or evening attire.
Once booked, wardrobe is key. Bring multiple outfit options that fit the scene, and always have backups for weather or last-minute changes. Extras who look the part get more screen time—and repeat bookings. As one Atlanta extra shared in a 2017 guide, “Create your own story & be assertive” by suggesting subtle background actions that enhance the scene without stealing focus.
Step 3: Master the On-Set Essentials
Long days are the norm—expect 8 to 12 hours, sometimes starting at dawn.
Arrive early (aim for 30-45 minutes before call time) with a “go bag” stocked with snacks, water, sunscreen, a book or phone charger, and comfortable shoes. Patience is your superpower: You might wait hours for a 30-second walk-on.
Follow directions meticulously—crew members appreciate extras who listen and adapt quickly.
Avoid common pitfalls like complaining, using your phone on set, or approaching principal actors. Instead, be kind to everyone from PAs to craft services; word travels fast in Atlanta’s tight-knit film community.
Pay typically starts at $100 for an 8-hour day, with overtime at time-and-a-half, mailed weeks later.
For higher earnings, aim for stand-in roles, where you mimic actors during lighting setups.
Step 4: Network and Build Your Reel
Georgia’s industry thrives on connections. Join Facebook groups like “Atlanta Movie Extras & Georgia Casting” to swap tips and share calls.
Attend industry mixers or follow the Georgia Film Office for events showcasing behind-the-scenes talent.
Document your work: Even blurred background shots can build a reel for future auditions.
Final Word
Success stories abound. The most successful extras turn sporadic gigs into a steady side hustle by treating every set like a learning lab, eventually landing speaking roles.
And with Tyler Perry Studios and Trilith leading expansions—projected to add nearly $3 billion in investments through 2027—the opportunities are only growing.
Because of the steady flow of movie and TV productions, Atlanta has been called the Hollywood of the South and it’s not just a label.. If you want to be an actor, the city has classes you can take as well as places that provide headshots and more. You can also audition at numerous casting calls to build your movie and TV reel.
Are you interested in becoming an actor in Atlanta? You’re in the right place!
