Hello,

We are a New York-based casting company that is working on two upcoming HBO
projects. Both productions will be filming in the Albany/Troy, NY area this
year.

*The GIlded Age*
We are seeking Troy locals (men, women, and children) to portray various
roles as extras in the series *The Gilded Age*, which takes place in the
1880s. The production will be filming in Troy May-June 2021.

For more info regarding the series, see HBO's site:

*The White House Plumbers*
We are seeking Albany locals (men, women, and children) to portray various
roles as extras in the limited series *The White House Plumbers*, which
takes place in the early 1970s. The production will be filming in Albany,
NY late Summer / early Fall 2021.

Anyone interested in working on either project should note the following:

   - extra (aka Background) work is PAID
   - adults must be ok working around atmospheric smoke
   - men must be ok getting a period appropriate hair cut
   - everyone must attend a costume fitting prior to filming
   - mandatory COVID testing will be provided by production

To be considered, anyone can register for free at
https://www.gwci.app/talent/

When registering, be sure to:


   - Select Troy and Albany as your employment area (you may select
   multiple employment areas)
   - Upload at least two recent photos (a close up and a full body shot)

We strongly encourage people to register. However, anyone who doesn't want
to register can submit via email to gildedage at gwcnyc.com AND
locations at gwcnyc.com (please email your submission to both email
addresses). When emailing submissions, include: your name, union status
(SAG-AFTRA or NonUnion), phone number, current height, clothing and shoe
sizes and current photos. Write “Troy/Albany” in the subject line of your
email.

We are exploring all avenues in an attempt to get the word out to the
community and surrounding area. I have attached flyers with more
information.

Please let us know if you have any suggestions for organizations or
individuals to contact who would be helpful in spreading the word. Feel
free to share the flyers.


Thank you and have a great day!
