A new Amazon series, Patriot, will be filming in Chicago this simmer and they are looking for locals who want to be extras on the show.
Right now, 4 Star Casting needs “middle-age male leg amputees and veterans comfortable working in a pool and male and female bar patrons who have a 70s vibe for a flashback scene.”
Stand-ins are also needed for the show’s stars Michael Dorman, Terry O’Quinn, Michael Chernus, Kathleen Munroe, Kurtwood Smith, Aliette Opheim, Marcus Toji and Tony Fitzpatrick.
Here’s a synopsis of the show’s storyline:
The plot revolves around intelligence officer John Tavner (Michael Dorman), who is tasked with de-escalating Iran’s nuclear ambitions. To do this, he must enter into a “non-official cover” as a mid-level employee at a industrial piping firm in Milwaukee. Which sounds like an absurd, round-about way to go about things, but that’s part of this show’s fun; everything is absurd and round-about. The shifts in tone between dead-serious espionage thriller and black comedy happen on a dime, with results ranging from jarring to delightful.
Filming will run from June 1 to September. To apply as an extra, visit 4 Star’s Facebook Page.
