Casual Film, TV & Commercial Extras

OnCue Talent works with film, television and commercial productions across Australia to submit everyday people for casual extra and featured extra roles.

Submissions are currently open for upcoming Melbourne-based productions, with limited availability for upcoming information sessions.

If you’re interested, the next step is to attend a free information session where we explain how everything works.

Meet Sue

Like Sue, one of our fabulous talent, you could find yourself part of a real television commercial, TV series or film.

Sue was selected to play the role of the grandmother in this TAC television commercial and stepped into the role with no previous experience.

She wasn’t a professional actor and hadn’t worked in the industry before — she was simply curious about how it all worked and decided to find out. Since then, Sue has continued to be cast in productions over time, depending on casting needs and availability.

Sue’s experience shows that there’s no “typical” extra — productions regularly look for everyday people of all ages, backgrounds and appearances.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be involved in film, TV or commercial productions, this is your opportunity to learn how it works and decide if it’s right for you.

(You can watch the TAC commercial featuring Sue via the video link below.)

Next step

To get started, we invite you to attend a free Information Session in Melbourne (sessions can fill quickly depending on availability).

At the session, we explain how casting works, what productions look for, and how people are submitted for extra and featured extra roles. The session gives you the chance to ask questions, understand the process, and decide whether this type of casual work suits you.

Attendance is free and there is no obligation to proceed further.
