We think of you as professionals — because you are. HBG Casting has the best of the best, and together we keep proving that every single day. Help Us Continue to Keep the Second Word in Background Actor Upfront-ACTOR!
We want you to love working with us, to make friends, have fun, make money, and feel valued every time you’re on set. Here’s how we keep that going — for both sides:
What We Aim to Do — So You’ll Want to Come Back
Communicate clearly — call times, wardrobe, and updates will always come from us as soon as production provides them.
Advocate for you — we push for fair treatment, rates, bumps, and accurate vouchers.
Keep things organized — roles, reminders, and updates all in one place: hbgcasting.app/talent
Answer casting/project-related questions — you can always email if you need clarification. We cannot reply to general submissions. Keep your availability updated on the site.
Celebrate you — your professionalism, reliability, and great attitudes keep this production running smoothly.
What You Can Do — So Production Wants You Back
Show up on time (early is on time). Early is 5 to 10 minutes. 30 minutes is TOO early!
Follow wardrobe directions exactly — continuity is key.
Respond quickly to texts and emails from HBG Casting.
Keep your availability current — and let us know ASAP if anything changes.
Be professional on set — phones away, voices down, no photos or spoilers.
Follow direction like your life depends on it. Take adjustments gracefully.
Stay positive and flexible. Schedules change — your attitude matters.
Respect everyone’s role. Crew, ADs, other actors — all part of one team.
Bring your essentials. Layers, snacks, water, comfortable shoes.
Take pride in your work. You’re not “just background” — you’re part of the story.
Be the person they remember for the right reasons. When ADs and crew trust you, they’ll ask for you again.
We love working with you — and your professionalism, kindness, and great energy make HBG Casting one of the best teams around.
Thank you for representing HBG Casting with excellence every day.
Warmly,
HBG Casting Team
