Open Casting Calls: Local Gigs for Actors

0:00It's April 22nd. I'm Corey with the story, and this is entertainment and celebrity news today, AI-powered and star driven. Plenty of movies and TV shows are holding open casting calls right now, across the United States, not just in Hollywood. Backstage put together a sovereign list highlighting projects from coast to coast, seeking actors for everything from leads to supporting roles. We're talking indie films, vertical series, and even a dating show with spots open to various ages and ethnicities. Earlier this week, they spotlighted thrillers like Lights Out, Who's Out, and high-impact dramas such as Idream of Pizza. Other fresh ones include Uncanny Valley High, and Little Falls, pulling in talent from big cities and smaller towns alike. For everyday actors grinding it out, this means real chances to audition close to home, skipping the cross-country move. It's a reminder that building a career doesn't always require red carpets. Local gigs can lead to steady work, or that big break.

1:00One standout is Pagans, hunting a 12-13-year-old female lead named Alice, Open Ethnicity. Then there's buzz around the 8-door Chinatown series called GS, and the dating show Scott Cress needs a man, plus White Chapel, and Ain't Love a Science. If you're chasing the dream, hit up backstage with the full details and submission info. These opportunities are live and waiting for you to step up.
