Emmy Award winner Bryan Cranston of Breaking Bad is set to star in a new movie called The Infiltrator.
The movie tells the true story of a DEA agent working undercover to bring down a cartel. It will be partially filmed in Tampa.
And if you want to be an extra in the movie, sending in a perfected selfie could help land one of the hundreds of roles up for grabs.
According to the casting company, all you have to do is take a couple of pictures and send them in sporting your best 1980’s look. And they’re pretty specific about how the pictures need to be taken.
The company wants photos that are well lit, in focus, current (a headshot, a mid shot, a full body shot from the front, a full body from the side). Black and white photos and group shots are frowned upon. And so are sunglasses, hats or standing too far away in the picture.
All ages can apply, and they’re looking for extras to play everything from police officers to gangsters to family members.
The extra roles pay $112 for a 12-hour day. The casting company is also looking for people with cars from the 1980s.
To apply, email three photos to infiltratormhc@gmail.com.
Hillsborough County leaders helped to create a $250,000 tax incentive package to offer for The Infiltrator. Producers almost didn't come to Tampa after applying for tax incentive money through the state. Lawmakers failed to fund the incentive, leaving the film in limbo.
But the smaller package was enough to lure producers to town. It was important to the story because The Infiltrator is based on a true story that took place in Tampa.
