COLUMBIA, S.C. — A Unique Opportunity to Be Part of a Hit Show

Ever dreamt of stepping onto the set of a popular television show? Well, here’s your golden ticket! HBO’s Righteous Gemstones is bringing a little Hollywood magic to our hometown of Columbia as they prepare to film part of their much-anticipated fourth season from September 16-27. This is not just any call for extras; this is your chance to join the action and see how the behind-the-scenes magic happens!

About the Show

For those who might be new to the series, Righteous Gemstones was created by the multi-talented actor, writer, and producer Danny McBride. The story revolves around a wealthy family of televangelists who run a megachurch. The main character, Eli Gemstone, portrayed by the legendary John Goodman, leads his family of over-the-top personalities, including his children Jesse (played by McBride himself), Judy (Edi Patterson), and Kelvin (Adam DeVine). The show humorously explores their extravagant lives, funded by the donations of their church congregation.

Join the Fun

So, what’s in store for those interested in landing a role as a background extra, stand-in, or even as a photo double? It’s an exciting venture that not only lets you experience the thrill of being on a set but also potentially meet a few stars! If you’ve ever thought about acting, even in a small capacity, this might be your chance.

To keep updated on the casting needs, you can follow along on the Tona B. Dahlquist Casting page on Facebook. With productions like this, they often look for a variety of people to fill in different roles, so everyone has a chance to be involved. Even if you’ve never acted before, they are looking for lots of local faces to bring the scenes to life.

What You Need to Know

First and foremost, you’ll want to make sure you’re available during the filming dates — from September 16 to 27. That’s a lot of opportunities to potentially get noticed!

Getting on Set

Participating in a film or television production can be an eye-opening experience. Imagine being surrounded by film crews, lighting setups, and the buzz of the cast and crew as they set the scene for another day of filming. Those who have had the opportunity to be extras in past productions often rave about the camaraderie and thrill that comes with it! Plus, it’s a great chance to learn a bit about the filmmaking process.

What to Expect

On the day of filming, you might be waiting around a bit, which is standard for film shoots. You’ll want to bring some snacks and a good book or something to keep you entertained while you wait for your moment in front of the camera! And don’t forget to dress appropriately for the scenes they are filming — often, they will provide guidelines on what to wear, depending on the era or mood of the sequence they’re working on.
