Casting no. 89138 - London, UK

Casting complete: Applications now closed.

We specialise in security training and run courses for aircrew around the world in the handling of hijackers and disruptive passengers. We have an exercise on January 14th (overseas) and are in need of a few extra actors/ extras. The exercise will last between 7 and 15 hours (approx. 11 hours.)

The exercises normally work best when we shock participants. As such, we swear a lot, are racially abusive to participants, use blank firers, and implement traditional hijacker tactics. We can't actually be violent to client staff, so we use actors as the main victims - usually females (but males welcomed). Improvisation is key; there is no script per say.

Previous participants need not apply. This listing is to add to those we have already used. For victims we are only auditioning for people who have a playing age over 30 as we have plenty of younger applicants on our books.

Details:
---------
We shall be auditioning in London (SW14) on Tuesday 23rd December (if applying, please advise if you prefer morning or afternoon). There is a possibility that we could audition on Sunday morning (21st) as well.

Only apply if you are happy to bring your passport to the audition. You will also be required to advise your home address and present a utility bill (bit like hiring a video) in your name. This is for security purposes.

Usually, the actors are flown (from London) to the venue a day before the exercise and then return the day after. Naturally all flights, accommodation, visa and meal expenses are covered.

Please apply now to take part or for more information.

Location: London, United Kingdom

Payment details: Hijackers: £150; Victims: £100 per person, per exercise, regardless as to whether or not a rehearsal is required the day before the exercise.

Hijacker

We require 2 extra hijackers for the scenario - ideally male. We want to avoid stereotypes...so we are NOT looking for applicants who are particularly muscular. For this exercise, the hijackers are British who take issue with UK government military policy. Accordingly...anybody who fits the media stereotype (Asian, Middle Eastern, muscular, ex-Forces type) need not apply.

Males, aged 33 to 48 from the United Kingdom

Passenger/Victim

Victims are verbally and physically abused. Improvisation is key; there is no script per se. We need people who can cry for help, try and persuade passengers/ crew to intervene on her behalf and who doesn't mind being physically touched (obviously not indecently) by hijackers and who can keep this up for hours on end. Clothing is provided for this role and it is usually torn. We make every attempt to avoid nudity, but excessively modest applicants need not apply.

Any gender, aged 28 to 65 from the United Kingdom
