A background actor is considered “booked” or hired for a job when the casting director provides you with complete information details for the project. Including but not limited to call-time, role, wardrobe, and location.
At times, casting directors may check your availability. This is usually because the project requires a group submission for a role the Director would like to select or picture pick a particular background actor to play. If you accept an “avail check”, you must check with the casting director before accepting another job for the same “avail check” date.
If you already received complete information details for your booking, follow the instructions you received. Depending on the project, information details may be released to you verbally over the phone, emailed, text, or over a voicemail line you call.
If you’re ever in doubt or have questions, always contact the casting emergency line which should be provided with your booking information details.
You are receiving the DocuSign verification email because you are a new hire for a project/production. Please complete the DocuSign forms prior to arriving to work. At set check in, have your IDs and/or documents with you to verify in person as required by US Labor Laws. If you’re unable to complete the online forms, paper forms (i9/w4) will be provided to complete on set at check in.
