On Location Casting is seeking Hispanic and Latino talent for a paid theme park commercial filming in Orlando, Florida, in late October 2026. The casting call features two principal on-camera roles: an energetic grandfather ages 65–70 and a teenage granddaughter ages 15–17.
The production offers a $600 daily session fee, a $200 fitting fee, and a potential $10,000 buyout for performers appearing in the final commercial.
Real grandfather-granddaughter pairs are welcome to apply, although individual actors and non-professional performers are also being considered.
The casting is associated with an Orlando theme park campaign reported as a Universal Studios commercial. The specific notice identifies the project as Theme Park Orlando.
About the Orlando Theme Park Commercial
The upcoming commercial will highlight the emotional connection between a grandfather and his teenage granddaughter, capturing their shared enthusiasm for adventure and memorable experiences.
The production wants performers who can portray a close family relationship naturally and convincingly.
The casting description compares the characters’ excitement to devoted sports fans attending the Super Bowl together. However, their shared passion in this commercial revolves around muscle cars rather than football.
The casting team is especially interested in authentic personalities, expressive faces, and believable family chemistry instead of traditional commercial-model appearances.
