FOX series Empire Casting Call Male and Female Extras in Chicago

1. Hello Empire Family,
   As a recent high school graduate I am often asked the question “What do I want to be?” However, the question I often ask myself is “Who do I want to be?” I haven’t yet figure out the answer to this question, but one thing for certain is that I have a passion for film. I come and go to work everyday wondering what else could I be doing with my life. However, people my age always take any job opportunities that come our way. In fact, however, I have longed for an opportunity to be on camera. Whether, the role is the main character or simply a girl in the background “acting like she’s reading” any opportunity is a step closer to my dreams. Now I ask myself again “Who do I want to be?” I want to be an African American woman that young girls can watch on television and believe they can achieve the same exact dreams.
   Sincerely, Aaliyah Strong

8. Hi, my name is Cyril, I just turned 17 in March and I would love the opportunity to audition for the Empire 2015 Season. I’ve been acting since middle school and through my high school years. Im currently a Senior at the Gramercy Arts Performing High School here in Manhattan. I’ve had the opportunity to work with Tony Danza who was my acting coach last summer. I’ve performed in the following plays: Guys and Dolls, Night of One Acts, Almost Maine (2×s) and I played Corney Collins in Hairspray. All of these performances took place in my Middle School/High School (Democracy Prep Charter HS) and my current H.S. Gramercy Arts. I received most of my training with the assistance of my former acting teacher Ms. Kowalski and I’m still apart of the Allstars Youth Onstage Project where I continue to perform doing Improv shows and I also performed in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. In conclusion, I feel like my acting experience has shown that I would be a good candidate for the Empire 2015 Season.

9. My passion for the acting and music industry is becoming unbearable. I search for outlets all the time but living in Virginia makes it very difficult. I just want surround myself with other dedicated actors and performers and prove myself. I would absolutely be great for this opportunity, simply because I know my potential, and I have long since tapped into it. All I want is the chance to show it.

10. I really think this would be a great experience for me. I’m so in love with this show. The vibes, the positive energy, it’s just all amazing! I love to act and this would definitely be an experience worth while.

11. Hello my name is Jessica Smith, I would love to be on your show. I’m an R&B/Soul singer. I would love to sing on your show but being an extra would be great as well

12. I’m soooo Chicago I think I can bring a nice little hip-hop feeling also can bring a real piece of ghetto to it I’m know all the hip slang words and no how to word them

13. Hello my name is Marian Burge and I would love to be an extra on such a phenomenal like “Empire”. I think u would be a great fit because you won’t find another ME!!!! I have a very outgoing personality and am definitely a team player. I’ve always wanted to be an actress but my life turned in another direction. I am always ready to work as well as put forth my best effort. I hope in the near future I can be a part of your epic vision in the series/movie world!!! Thank you

14. Hi, my name is Uriah Strong and I would love to have an appearance on Empire. I’m 14 years old and I love to sing and act. Not only that I love to sing and act, I am pretty good at both of those things. I would love to make my appearance on this show, because I believe that this is a great show and I’d be honored to be a part of something so great. I’m not quite interested in having a small part as an extra, I would very much like to have a pretty big part. I’ve always wanted to be an actress, I’ve always wanted to be on television so that everyone could see what I’ve got. If you give me this opportunity, you will not regret it. I promise.

    Thank you.

15. I would love to be a part of the “Empire” T.V. show. If I am afforded
    the opportunity to audition for a part, you will not be disappointed.

    Best regards,
    Edna Metcalfe

16. I look like Janet Jackson from good times.

17. I might make a good background actor….but I am white

18. My name is Dominique, and I am 22 years old. I currently live, and go to college in Chicago. I would be honored to further my artistic endeavors by being an extra on Empire. When I saw Precious, I was so inspired to write and start directing, so when I found out Lee Daniels would be direction a show with two of my favorite actors (Terrence Howard and Taraji P Henson), I was thrilled to be a supporter of the show. Now, that there is an opportunity to support the show, I would greatly appreciate a chance in being apart of the show. Not only would this give me a chance to show my acting skills, it would also give me an opportunity to see a broader picture of a television production. Since, I am majoring in directing, I would definitely be honored for the chance to be apart of a elite team.

    Thank you for your time,
    Dominique ^.^

20. To be honest I’ve never seen empire, and I don’t know what it’s about but I really want to be an extra

21. I am LaWanda Herminstyne, 19 years of age residing in Chicago, IL. Sophomore college student majoring Criminal Justice.
    Height: 5’3″
    Eyes: Dark Brown
    Sex: Female

    My experience in acting is little, but I am looking forward to broadening it. The only way for me to have certain experiences under my belt is reaching out for the opportunity when given. I have 5 years of experience of radio and television working the sound board, cameras and teleprompters. I was then promoted to anchorwoman giving reports and doing projects. My voice is semi soft, but stern and one of my talents are singing. I have always been told that I would be fit to play a sweet but sneaky person (character), which I have always thought that as well. In reality, I am sweet and I could be sneaky (in a good way) depending on what the situation is. Naturally, I have a nerdy but seductive sex appeal. My persona is very optimistic, confident, silly sense of humor curious, strong and sweet. I look forward to auditioning and becoming a part of the Empire family.

    With Regards,
    Ms. Herminstyne

22. I’m 24 years old, 5’8″ tall, and I wear glasses. I have a great personality and am passionate in what I put my name on, in other words I put my all into it. I would love to be apart of this great opportunity because I have something to prove. I’m a recent college grad and I’m seeking to make my mark on the world. This is only the beginning but a major step in being apart of something greater than myself. I hope that you will consider me and I thank you for your time.
