Grant Wilfley Casting has put out the call for local talent for the USA television series “Royal Pains.” Several scenes will be shot in the area during the month of April.
The casting agency is looking for “upscale Hamptonites” for extra and background performer roles. Types being cast include wealthy vacationers, young and attractive bar patrons, boaters who are comfortable on the water and beachgoers.
“We welcome the local well-heeled community to get involved as background players,” Grant Wilfley, East Ender and president of Grant Wilfley Casting, Inc., said in a release issued on Tuesday.
Those interested should email a recent picture, height, weight and contact information to rps3@gwcnyc.com. Put “Hamptons LOCAL” in the subject line. Also, include union status, if applicable. Those who own luxury vehicles should also note that in the... more

Unfreakin beleivable!!
Putting Trump in the White House, would be like electing Lex Luthor.
Thats good for the Economy , why does everyone always see the need to complain, be thankful that they will need extras and some people will get work.
It's very clear that the announcement is saying only the rich need apply.
I suspect that while may they plan some more street and estate "sets" on the East End this season -- on balance, most of the interiors will be in Nassau County.
Just a simple vehicle, with a PLC to run the engine.

East End residents. There are, however, some lacunae in the press release.
I hesitate to introduce plebeian concerns such as money but I assume that the casting director is offering actors' equity minimums for individuals, unionized or nonunionized, and for personal vehicles used as props in the production, to wit: $$275 /hr/or/appearance for non-speaking roles and $$550 hr/ or appearance for speaking roles; and ...more $$500/daily for personal vehicles/items used as props.
Moreover, the press release failed to note that Locals who were hired on would be eligible for SAG membership.
We are so sophisticated here in the Hamptons that we are likely to overlook inconsequential factors like money. After all, it's not like WE would pay THEM to be on national TV.
I would like to take this opportunity to tell the producers just how much I LOVE the concept of their series (although I have never actually seen it) and I would be deliriously happy to appear thereupon with a suitable guarantee.
Please send inquiries c/o The Southampton Press. You will have no difficulty assembling extras to fit your requirements so long as their appearances suit union guarantees.
God bless.
