We often get asked, “How can I be an extra on Law and Order: SVU?” Unfortunately, it isn’t easy.
Becoming an extra on any New York City-shot series can be difficult. Most NYC casting companies have an established pool of talent they use for their projects, including Central Casting, the company that handles extras for SVU, Blue Bloods, and other New York City TV shows and movies.
Just because it might be tough to land one of these gigs as an extra, doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Central Casting recently posted new instructions for those interested in working with them.
For instance, Central is looking for skateboarders for an SVU scene shooting at a skate park on Jan. 26. But, to apply for this job, or any job Central Casting advertises, you must first be registered with the company.
Here’s how:
In order to be registered with Central Casting, you MUST come in to our office, attend our orientation and complete the appropriate paperwork. Your status remains active for 3 years from your registration date. If your status becomes inactive and you are eligible to re-register, you must come in to our office to update your registration paperwork before you are eligible to submit for any Central Casting job. If you are unsure of your status, please call 646-205-8244, ext. 4.

I feel I’d be a perfect cast member of SVU. I’m a retired police officer of 28 yrs. You can teach that kind of style to anyone.
I’m 51 yrs old but look 35 to 40
6 ft
240 lbs
stocky build
I performed several different police position while active in my job.
Hopefully a plus is that I watch all the SVU episodes included all the multiple reruns on USA nerwork. So I have a feeling I could fit right in with the cast
I’m good with people verbally and excellent at interagating suspects I know all the cop lingo which is a plus.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Law and Order SVU is my favorite show. Of Course I will watch any Law and Order but SVU is the best in my opinion. I would love to be an extra and would do any part its a dream of mine. I would play a deceased person just lieing on a slab or just a person just walking by in the scene. It would be amazing to just be a part of the SVU family even for just a moment.

I would love to be an extra or background in any episode. It has been my favorite show since it began. I work in the film industry for series and movies in support categories.
In fact, there is little that can help with finding a job, except of course a good resume. Because no application will not help already at the stage of the interview, when there are several candidates and the chief chooses one of them. Because I can say from myself that you need to come with a good resume, if you can’t write convincingly and creatively, it will be easier to contact the professionals here , they will write and you will have already done the finished work. Therefore, I think that there will be no special difficulties and problems with any device, if you prepare thoroughly for it better than your competitors. This is one of these options.
This very special dating site I’d like to suggest because you can’t name it any other way. I’ve always lived alone and I couldn’t believe I’d ever live with someone. I’m not lonely anymore because of such a wonderful service! In my life new colours, new colours! For more than a year I and my moldovan women for marriage have been together, we still love one another, and we won’t end there, but we’re just making headway! Thank you so much for helping my girlfriend locate this place.
Special victim unit has been helping the people at risk! I appreciate their way of activities towards the benefits of the general people. I recently have found this flirtymania platform for chat facilities with hottest girls and women around the world! By the way, we should also get connected with the others when they need someone’s helps and needs. Thanks for letting us know about this announcement.
