Shh…don’t tell anyone but it looks like they’re casting zombies for ‘The Walking Dead’

Extras Casting Atlanta, the company that handles extras for The Walking Dead, recently posted a listing on Facebook looking for extras who have “a slim build” and “no allergies to latex”, but also asked the listing not be posted on any other websites, so we held off mentioning it…until we saw other sites were letting the cat out of the bag anyway.

The listing, which seems to be for zombies in The Walking Dead even though they don’t explicitly say it, has made its way to other websites and message boards which is no surprise considering the zombie roles on The Walking Dead are the most coveted extra roles on television. After all, who wouldn’t want to play a walker on one of TV’s biggest series?

But, since they are being pretty serious about the casting call not being re-posted it also means they are pretty serious about who they want applying. So, if you don’t fit the description, please don’t throw your hat in the ring, it’s not worth the headache for you or them.

You can see the full listing on Facebook.

  43. Dear The Walking Dead Cast

    I have alway wanted to be a actor even if its a zombie. I have watched all of the series in one and now started two and have enjoyed them. I am 36 years old and have a slim build. My hair is dirty blond and I am 5/7 in height. I weigh in at 125. I have a natural beard and mustach and I am white. I live in Katy, Texas. I am a Teacher Ass-full time and I believe my students would love to see me on TV. I can be reached at katwesttexas@gmail.com and (832)474-7972. I would make a great fit for your show. I can send photos by text message to another phone. Email me or call.

    Thanks,
    Patrick

  44. Dear Walking Dead Cast

    It would be cool to see more military on the show trying to save the world from the Zombies. Oh why are there no Zombie animales? That would make a great threat. I think there needs to be more traveling in the show instaed of the fighting bettween groups. Get the fight on the road with the groups. It would be intresting to see the Zombies learn how to fight the living and gain strength and not die with one blow to the head. Just a thought to make the show more intresting. Have fighter jets fly over the groups and not be seen again until another show. Make the watcher question what was that?

    Thanks,
    Patrick

  45. Let me start off by saying I am a die hard Walking Dead fan. I would love nothing more than to rip flesh apart or to have my head stomped in (or just something gross and bloody lol). I have loved scary zombie movies even as an infant. Therefore, it is no shock why I want to become a walker for the next season. I am 21 years old, Native American decent, 5’7 and 140lbs. I currently live in Green Bay, Wisconsin and could travel at any days notice to have this opportunity! For fun i shoot guns with my boyfriend up north and use zombie targets of course. I am the PERFECT candidate for the Walking Dead crew and am willing to meet all qualifications! This is literally my number one item on my bucket list and would be ecstatic to join the crew.

  59. Hello my name is Tay and I would love to be on The Walking Dead . I’m 17 turning 18. I’m average slim and I have the perfect story for my character background. Carl , Rick and Michonne hear a nearby scream coming from a house. Michonne Runs in and starts slicing up walkers. Rick spots me running from the house and draws a gun out on me. I slowly stopped and dropped my knives. Michonne walks out the house and stares at me. She tries not to cry. We walked towards each other and greeted with a long hug.

    From this point on Michonne told Rick and Carl I was her cousin .
