Looking for some part time work over the spring term? Sick of your waiting or call centre job and fancy something a bit more exciting?Then working as a TV and movie extra could be just the ticket.
The talent agency behind Justice League, the Kingsman movies and the latest Star Wars releases are coming to Glasgow and looking for young Scots to take part in paid extra work for some upcoming movie and TV projects. If you’re over 16 and a half and have the right to work in the UK, you have the chance to be considered – no experience necessary!
The casting call will take place from 10am – 4pm on Sunday, April 15 at The Studio Glasgow and the auditions are free to attend.
Amy Leyshon, events coordinator comments: “We work on the biggest and best feature films and have provided supporting artists for numerous projects including Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Justice League, Kingsman: The Golden Circle and Paddington 2. We have some exciting projects coming up in and around Glasgow as well as across Scotland, so are looking for people to come and register to work as supporting artists with us.

They host a number of casting calls and events throughout a number of different venues, including colleges and universities.
