If you would like to post a casting opportunity, please email details to the Michigan Film Office at mfo@michigan.org.

For casting calls: Never go alone. Never agree to pay anyone anything for auditions or jobs. You should not be asked to pay to audition for an acting or extra job...EVER! The production company or individual is to pay you for your work. If anything ever seems questionable ask questions before signing up to do the work.

The MFO will only post unpaid Extras casting calls when the approved production has included NO Extras expense line in their Michigan budget. Please contact our office if you have any questions.

To refresh your memory, "Hardcore Pawn" is a truTV, RDF Media (the producers of "Wife Swap") reality show revolving around one of the country's largest pawn shops, the family owned and run American Jewelry & Loan located in Detroit on Greenfield Rd just south of 8 Mile Rd. The show documents the thousands of people and their possessions as they enter the pawn shop looking to make a deal. The pawn shop personell not only buy and sell jewelry, electronics, and furs they've also been known to take in cars, alligators, antiques, furniture, appliances, helicopters, houses, stuffed game and everything in between.

 

With that being said, we are now preparing to shoot season 2 of the show beginning in the first week of August. We are once again looking for people who are in the market to sell or pawn their items on camera! And remember, it doesn't matter how large or how small the items are or how ordinary or how outrageous, WE WANT TO GET YOU ON CAMERA!! So please feel free to contact me if you're interested in coming on the show so I can interview you and PLEASE forward this information to all of your friends and family.

 

AND REMEMBER - THESE ARE REAL TRANSACTIONS. I NOR MY PRODUCTION TEAM CAN GUARANTEE YOU'LL GET YOUR ASKING PRICE FOR WHATEVER IT IS YOU'RE SELLING OR PAWNING. WE'RE JUST THERE FILMING YOU. WE ENCOURAGE YOU HOWEVER, TO STAND YOUR GROUND AND NEGOTIATE FOR WHAT YOU WANT.
