Kendall Cooper Casting is seeking extras for the second season of “Swagger” starring O’Shea Jackson Jr. and Isaiah Hill.
Filming for the “Swagger,” and AppleTV+ Original series continues in Richmond and surrounding areas this month through November. The series is created by Reggie Rock Bythe- wood and inspired by NBA star Kevin Durant’s youth basketball experience growing up in the DMV (Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia) area.
Richmonders of all ethnicities, ages, gender and sizes are encouraged to apply for various roles. According to a casting notice on the Virginia Film Office website, “Swagger” specifically is “seeking people of African American and mixed ethnicities to play high school students, basketball players, cheerleaders, parents,” basketball fans and several other roles. Young adults ages 18 to 24 are encouraged to audition or apply.
Typically, work for extras will be a 1 to 3-day commitment for filming, and there also is the op- portunity for returning roles for multiple scenes. All roles require COVID-19 testing in advance of any in-person work. Filming will generally be a 12-or-more hour commitment for each day of work. All extra work, fittings, and testing is paid. No travel or housing is provided.
