Chicago Fire Extras is a group that handles the hiring of extras for not only 'Chicago Fire' but 'Chicago Med' and 'Chicago PD' as well. When the current seasons of those shows are filming, they constantly post casting calls for extras, and next week is no exception!

While some of next week's casting call do require a certain "look", these roles are NON-SPEAKING so no previous acting skills are required. You just need to have a full day free to be a part of the show and apply for the gig ahead of time.

Here are a few of the casting calls issued for next week starting Monday, April 17 through Friday, April 21, 2023...

 

 

I don't know about you, but it sounds to me like a few of those casting calls are looking for some doppelgangers for popular 'Chicago Fire' characters like "Mouch" and "Hermann". (Wouldn't that be cool?!?)

How to Apply to Be a 'Chicago Fire' Extra

The application process for being a 'Chicago Fire' extra is pretty easy and isn't very time-consuming, but it is important that you get it submitted ASAP. The quicker you send an email to 11extra101@gmail.com with the required info like your personal stats, picture, etc., the more likely you are to be chosen for the show.

There are a couple of important things you need to remember to do before submitting your application:

  • Pay close attention to the ages, gender, and/or ethnicity the specific scene requires.
  • Include the correct description listed for the scene you are applying for in the subject line of your email.
