Illinois Fans of ‘The Bear': Here’s Your Chance to Be an Extra Next Season

Have you ever watched The Bear and thought, "I could totally survive in that kitchen—at least as a background character"? Well, now's your chance to prove it.

If you, like me, are obsessed with The Bear and have ever dreamed of stepping into its fast-paced, chaotic world, now is your chance.

Filming for season 4 is officially kicking off in Chicago later this month, and the production team is looking for extras to fill a variety of roles. Here’s how you can get in on the action!

Who They're Looking For

According to a job posting by Project Casting, the production team is searching for extras to play various kitchen staff roles, including dishwashers, line cooks, pastry chefs, and even head chefs.

But that's not all—other roles include restaurant patrons, stand-ins for principal actors, and even infants (yes, your baby could make their television debut before they can even hold a spoon).

While compensation details aren’t explicitly listed, you can expect competitive pay based on the role and experience level. Plus, there’s always a chance to be called back for additional scenes as filming continues, according to Time Out Chicago.
