Paramount Series 9/12 Casting SAG and Non-Union Extras

Grant Wilfley Casting is currently seeking paid background talent for the Paramount series 9/12, filming throughout the New York City metro area from October through December 2026.

For this casting call, production is looking for adults who can portray New York pedestrians and who own period-appropriate vehicles from 2005 or earlier.

Both SAG-AFTRA and non-union performers are being considered, and selected vehicles will receive an additional $250 period car bump.

About “9/12”

9/12 is an upcoming Paramount limited series centered on the aftermath of the September 11 attacks and the legal battle to secure compensation for first responders who later became seriously ill.

The six-part drama features a cast that includes Jeremy Strong, Andrea Riseborough, Barry Pepper, Neal Huff, Gaby Hoffmann, and Sky Yang.

For upcoming background scenes, production is recreating New York during an earlier time period, making period-appropriate cars an important part of the visual setting.
