ASPIRING television stars are being asked to register their interest in becoming an extra in a major Disney show filming near Helensburgh.

Paid extras are wanted for the TV production, which is being shot across Argyll during May and June.

All genders, age groups (16+ years old) and ethnicities are being encouraged to apply, with Uni-versal Extras particularly keen to hear from ethnic minority groups.

An appeal shared on social media this week said: "I’m doing a bit of work rounding up extras for a TV show that’s filming about 20 minutes north of Inveraray, in June.

"I’m trying to cast as many locals as possible but would love to hear from Helensburgh folks if you are willing to travel.

"Days are long but we’ll be doing bus transfers to set from Helensburgh central so nobody is driving tired.

"I’m particularly keen to hear from men and women who are of Black African, Caribbean, South Asian descent or… peely wally ginger-haired folks.

"Yes, that’s right. I have an interesting brief to fill. Roll up!"

The production is shooting under strict Covid-19 guidelines from the British Film Commission and all extras will be given regular PCR tests prior to and throughout the shooting period.

To apply, send a recent full-length photograph to argyllextrascasting@gmail.com and include your age and which town you live in.
