Side Job - HOLLYWOOD!
Maybe you can get "discovered"
- SEARCHING FOR REAL POLICE TO CAST AS PAID EXTRAS!!
The NBC TV series, “Chicago Fire” is searching for real Chicago police officers, detectives, swat, all ethnicities and ages to work as paid extras!
The exciting series, “Chicago Fire” is shooting in Chicago starting in approximately one week and shooting until Christmas.
If you are interested please send in a photograph in uniform with your height, weight, clothing sizes, and your phone number to:
Chicagofireextra@gmail.com
Please put in the subject line of the e-mail “Police”
Send in photographs ASAP as casting is happening fast.
Please note that by sending in a photograph this does not guarantee being cast to work as an extra.
The rate of pay, if cast, is $175 for an 8 hour day and time and a half after 8. There is also a $25 dollar bump for your uniform. A normal shooting day is approximately 12 hours and sometimes we shoot hours longer. Anyone we cast must be available to work the entire day or night, if they are cast.
Thank you!

I just hope Hollywood from 018 makes an appearance. He will be doing snap kicks like nobody's business!
Can a recent retiree signup for this gig?
STELLA! STELLA!
Fuck Hollywood. Let this show evaporate like The last one did.
Yea no thanks.. PASS!
Mr Rogers can play the Mayor and Howdy Doody will portray McLegendinhisownmind....no disrepect to either of the actors.
Detective Folino,
I have witnessed the past years offers for our City Police Officers to be employed through the "Hollywood" connection. As I have not partook in these offers I would like to commend you for orchestrating this fiscal path for all those police officers that have been able to financialy gain from such an offer. It is not an easy job to put your name out there but I have to say you have done a great job at providing these men and women of our Department with some extra place to grab some cash. Hell knows in these times we should be grateful for someone doing anything for us. There is great strength in numbers my blue brothers, don't give up on our blue line. Peace and thanks again John.

Go for it. You may find yourself a new career.
Off Topic: Last night,,,,,I saw a Tahoe with two coppers park for lunch by a restaurant, not only did they park in violation of signs, they blocked the crosswalk , causing many people to walk in the street around the vehicle. You would think they may have moved when they saw what they did, but during their 60 minute lunch, they didn't---Thanks for making us all look like arrogant asshoes.

Ironically, the television series is imitating real life, via the word "shooting".
That's less than I make being the police for real. Cheap ass movie industry.
Plus u get to eat like a king. breakfast, lunch, dinner. Just Watch out for the extras that do this for a living. They think they will be the next big star.
What about retirees?
I cant get the day off.
$22.00 an hour? No thank you Hollywood. F.Y.I.,Extras are chumps.
Hey 01;40 AM nobody wants your tired old ass. Just fade away.
Us 'old-timers' with a face like a used catchers mit need not apply.
So what if I have to use Armorall for an after shave...
"MAKEUP!"
ol' vet (r)
I worked as an extra ages ago, and they will ALWAYS go longer than they say they will. Can active POs really guarantee availability for the 16 hours they'll need? Bet not.
Can former CPD sign up too? I'm still the police, just not n Chicago anymore. I'll have to go in my storage space and look for my uniforms. Hollywood here I come!
I've been waiting a long time for this opportunity. Time to get out my best dress shoes.
You expect me to work as an extra on a show about the "real heros" the CFD??? fuck that!by the way, when your an extra on one of these shows your treated like garbage. Usually you have to wait in an old church community room and sit for hours upon hours at a time. You dont get craft services like everyone else and the pay usually isnt worth it. I think it might be 20 an hour or so..no, not cash.
The other "Chicago" based cop show did not survive, what makes this one different ?
um, no, ....in Chicago a "normal" shooting day last 24
hours, not 12. God knows there is no shortage of real
Shootings.
going to be hard to get current po's with the shortage of manpower and all the complaints about not getting off. especially if its true that po's are getting time off approved and then getting calls about it be cancelled a day or two before Good luck
I wanna be a movie star! Since I don't have much of a career as a police officer,maybe if I act like one!
I'm sure all the young hair-gels who frequent Bourbon St. are super dooper excited! I wonder if a few hair-gels will have a Rider. Wonder what they would request....
Great idea. There's more than a few detectives at Area North who would benefit from learning how to act like a detective.
Cooter locked in as the stuntman.
Maybe the next Dennis Farina will be discovered.
People in the private sector would be fired on the spot for doing HR recruiting for another companies side jobs on or off of company time.
Why is NBC using a gmail email address and not an NBC.com one?
John.. stop with the central detective crap. just call it area 1.. stop cornfrusing people
Every time we go to work we're acting, putting on a show--extras? Sheeeeeet--we could all win Academy Awards with speaking parts. In fact I think they should give acting awards to politicians--it's be a toss-up ase to whether McDummy or the Flaming Tutu would win. 2-way tie maybe?
send a picture in grandpa
If they redo the deliverance I'm all in.
As of 1800 hrs on 12-JULY-2012, (104) members of the CPD have submitted their info for "Chicago Fire!". Thanks to all for their interest and I hope someone or several of you get discovered and make it $big$.
Thanks again and stay safe,
Sincerely,
Det. John L. Folino, Jr.
If we make an arrest on the show, can we count that as a head on the books. Of course it does, remember its about perception. When they see us locking people up on TV we won't need more police. right Rahmboni
My mommy said only if I'm able use my hair gel.
Can I have the roll of a pilgrim?
can we start a hire scc in a bit role or as an extra campaign
partook ?
some extra place to grab some cash ?
Bet the Sgt. LOVES your AIRA reports!

'SQUEEEL LIKE A PIG!!!!
lol Ned Beaty (sp?)
Is it a movie about the Mayflower landing at Portillo's Rock? Maybe they need cops as extras to give the illusion of police presence, so the wilding honor students dont beat the shit out of the real actors.
Can I play Dirk Diggler?
Do you think they need an overweight cigar smoking old guy with mustard and gravy stains on his vest cover? If so I am the man for the job!
