Please bring a pen.
Know your measurements and clothing sizes. Women should know current bust, waist and hip measurements, dress size, pant and shoe sizes. Men should know collar, sleeve length, coat size, waist, inseam, shoe and hat size if you have it. Please give us your exact sizes, not your high school sizes. We do many period films and fit many people into costumes and uniforms and would hate to send you to set and not have the proper size wardrobe to provide for you.
You will be photographed.
Women please arrive looking your best with hair and make up done and men should be neatly groomed. Please dress according to your best character or type. Wear more than just a t-shirt to give us an idea of what type of clothing you may have in your wardrobe. If you are college age, dress hip and trendy -- wear conservative casual attire if you are clean cut, or wear more urban and edgy if you are not. Layered clothing and accessories look great in photos. If you are a business type, look very upscale and sharp.
Men should wear crisp collared shirts (cream, light grey, pale blue etc.) conservative ties and single-breasted suits. Women can also wear suits with accessories. Look like a news anchor. If you are a character type, dress accordingly. If you look like a pirate, we don’t need to see you in a tuxedo.
If you would like us to take any additional photos to add to your profile, we would be happy to take one for a $10.00 processing fee for each additional picture taken. If you are 18-27, have a fantastic body and would like to do bathing suit work, we will take an additional photo of you in a bathing suit at no additional charge.
Please no hats or sunglasses. Muted or darker colors are best. Please avoid very bright colors, red, no all black and no white.
We charge a one time $25.00 registration fee (cash only); please try to bring exact change. This photo will stay in our database until you are no longer reachable by any of your phone numbers. Our casting directors will submit this photo to directors so please look your best and keep it up-to-date. If you change your hair or look in any way, please make sure to come in and take a new updated photo.
Registration Office:
Street parking only. Please bring change for the parking meters. If you are a union member you must bring your current union card or receipt. Photo updates are taken during regular registration hours, which are Mondays through Fridays from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. You may update your photo as often as you like for a fee of $10.00. We recommend that you update at least once a year to let the Casting Director know that you are still in town and interested in working. You should also update your photo whenever your look changes so that we always have a current picture of what you look like.
We do not charge a yearly re-registration fee. Once you are in our system you will stay there forever. Or, until we try numerous attempts to call or email you and cannot reach you by any of your contact numbers. It is important that you provide us with as many contact numbers as possible and emergency contact numbers (a family member or friend) so we can find you. If we cannot contact you, we have no choice but to delete your file from the system. At that point, you would have come in and register again.
When changing your status from Non-Union to Union, you must present your identification and union card in person during registration hours.
If you are not a U.S. Citizen you must present your current “Employment Authorization” OR “Resident Alien” card (these cards will not be accepted unless they contain a current photo of you – no baby/child pictures), TOGETHER with the above-listed documents. If you have a sponsor, we cannot register you. If you are here on a student Visa, you must bring a current I-20 form from your school.
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.
