ABC’s upcoming television series “RJ Decker” is currently filming in North Carolina, and casting directors are looking for paid background actors in the Wilmington, NC area.

The series is based on a novel by bestselling author Carl Hiaasen and follows the story of RJ Decker, a former newspaper photographer whose career collapsed after a scandal that landed him in prison.

After his release, Decker attempts to rebuild his life in South Florida, reinventing himself as a private investigator. Along the way, he becomes involved in a series of unusual and sometimes surreal cases while working with an unexpected team — including his clever ex-girlfriend, her police detective wife, and a mysterious benefactor from his past.
