NBC’s acclaimed series ‘Chicago Fire’ offers a unique opportunity for a Latino male to join their dynamic team as a stand-in for one of the main actors. This role is not just about being a body double; it’s about playing a crucial part in filmmaking. The selected individual will work intimately with the director and crew to ensure that everything from lighting to camera blocking is perfectly orchestrated.
As a stand-in, the individual will be responsible for replicating the actor’s positioning, movements, and lighting setups.
