- The wrangler/s on set work directly for Background Casting. They passon information about who is great and who needs to go.
- Increase your wardrobe
- Having a varied wardrobe will increase your chances of working. Buisnesssuits, trendy clothes, military boots, cop shoes and winter/summer/fall clothes in set friendly colours (no white, head-to-toe black, red or neons, or anythingwith a logo), will help get you work. Remember that most days, you will be asked to bring 3 to 4 complete changes of clothing appropriate for the scene.
- Be Available
- Most productions work Monday to Friday. It is rare to shoot on the weekendsor holidays. To be considered available for any given day, you must be availablethe full 24hrs. When your agent books you, they will not know when the day will start or end in advance.
- The more you are available, the better chance you will have to work!
