Extras needed for two movies being filmed in Charlotte

Hollywood has come to the Queen City and casting directors are busy looking for extras.

Tona B. Dahlquist Casting is accepting submissions for both “Apopka,” which stars Sydney Sweeney and Ben Foster, and “Roofman,” which stars Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst.

The casting agency says they’ll need more than 1,000 people for filming and all background actors will be paid.

In August we reported that another agency was handling casting for “Roofman,” but that was for speaking roles. To be considered for an extra, you must submit through Tona B. Dahlquist Casting.

Production is seeking all types and all ages, including those who can portray everything from prisoners, birthday party kids, McDonald’s workers, store shoppers, boxers, EMTs, and spectators.

You can keep up with each movie’s casting needs on the Tona B. Dahlquist Facebook page .

The email heading should include your ethnicity, gender, age, and city and state you live in (example: Caucasian female, 25, Charlotte, NC).
