The Milwaukee roundup contains three separate opportunities: one television-series casting notice and two feature-film notices, indicating that the city’s listings are concentrated in scripted productions rather than reality or short-form projects.
Film and television productions are actively casting across five U.S. cities—Richmond, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Detroit, and Boston—offering paid roles for actors and extras in feature films, TV series, reality shows, short films, and music videos. Casting Networks has compiled listings that reveal distinct regional patterns: Boston is hiring union and nonunion performers for burlesque-club scenes on Wednesday, September 23, while Richmond is recruiting for a dating reality show called "Ex or Next" on a major streaming platform.
Boston Pays Burlesque Performers Two Different Rates
Boston's casting notices split between union and nonunion roles for the same production. SAG-AFTRA members earn $231 for an eight-hour day, while nonunion performers get $187 for a 10-hour day. Both groups film on Wednesday, September 23. The listings specify that performers must be comfortable with strobe lights during filming.
Reality TV and Talk Show Opportunities in Richmond
Richmond's casting board features "Ex or Next," a dating reality show for a major streaming platform, actively recruiting talent. The city also lists a guest co-host role for a talk show or major digital platform, though that posting indicates compensation was not available. Both opportunities remain open through Casting Networks.
Milwaukee Favors Scripted Productions Over Reality
Milwaukee's casting roundup concentrates on narrative projects rather than reality or short-form content. The city currently has three open notices: one for a television series and two for feature films. This scripted focus reflects how Midwestern production hubs often maintain dedicated infrastructure for longer-term narrative productions.
How Regional Tax Breaks Drive Production Outside Hollywood
State tax incentives and lower operating costs have pushed major studios to tier-two and tier-three cities like Richmond, Boston, and Detroit. These regional hubs offer diverse backdrops and cheaper overhead than Los Angeles or New York. Productions in these markets still generate direct payouts to union and nonunion background talent during single-day shoots.
