Feature film casting babies - and strippers - in Cleveland: How to apply

Heck, they'll be lucky to find babies or cars without tattoos in The Mistake on the Lake,, let alone strippers! ;-)

(I know, cheap shot. My only defense is that I lived in Pittsburgh for 23 years.....)

No, it's true. Some 50% or so of Millennials in certain places have tattoos, not just strippers. So I wouldn't be surprised to see inked up babies to be honest. (Sarcasm).

Full disclosure. I'm in Cleveland.

I'll pass. $300 is less than my residual checks were for the role I was cast in, AFTER my agent took his 15%, and there was no nudity. My contract was around $900/day. Only two days of filming for me. I was a "principal actor" though, or at least that's what the SAG-AFTRA union called it when they sent me a letter inviting me to join, which I did not. I kept the letter however, still on my fridge years later lol. It was a pretty small role, though. I had only a few lines. But they did give me my own trailer with a white robe in it. It wasn't as big as the more important actors' trailers of course, but I thought it was cool.

They refer to the "Untitled Detroit City Project' which is a little confusing since there's a film about the 1967 race riot coming out this year that's being referred to as the Untitled Detroit Project.

Could be the same since the time frame of the movie is 1960 to 1985

Doesn't seem to be any connection between the two movies?

Juice will only request $100 if he can be a stand in and also be nude.

Lil Fishsticks will be a stand in as long as they don't need him before 4PM. He has Dungeons and Dragons club meetings on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school.

I would have to pay them $300 to appear nude in the film.

Nina, I thought you had to join SAG-AFTRA if you have spoken lines...apparently not!

Rockstar666 Lol no you definitely don't have to join, it comes with a 3K initiation fee so forcing someone to pay money just to take a speaking role would be ridiculous.

I was surprised to get the letter because I thought you had to be a member of one of the smaller actors unions before getting into SAG-AFTRA. But the letter literally says, "due to your role as a principal actor..." and then comes the invitation. Pretty cool, but I think of the SAG union as something more for people who are serious/career actors, which I am not. In fact, after that experience I decided I didn't want to do any acting for any major productions ever again. I haven't tried since. That shit was super stressful for me, I am not cut out to be an actress. I respect the profession more now because WOW, what a crazy, high stress environment.

i'll cut a deal with them. if i can bbfs bbbj daty a HOT stripper on the set... just give me 10% of the profits.

A lot of part-time actors and actresses join Sag for access to decent, inexpensive, union medical insurance.
