Please sign this petition to help all our performers to get what they deserve and be on par with IATSE and DGC as well as other ACTRA areas like in Vancouver where all performers are getting 8 hours for a Covid test. Toronto performers are being severely under reimbursed at 2 hours pay, when it requires them to have a whole day off work to go in for a Covid test. #safteyfirst #covidtest #fair #actra #actratoronto

10 THINGS THAT REQUIRE ZERO TALENT! Practising these simple 10 things every time you’re in set will take you farther then you know. Productions are in constant communication with Casting Directors. When you do the right things, you get noticed. I promise you. The same when you don’t do the right things. So the biggest thing I can tell you is to be present. Do these 10 things and I assure you, you will see the effort pay off with more bookings. CDs and agents book the people who work hard and do the right things. #hardwork #jbcasting #requires0talent ##bepresent #backgroundcasting #BG #extras #filmindustry #torontofilmindustry #casting #castingdirector

Marry Me This Christmas is a movie that was recently cast by JB Casting. Thank you to all our wonderful background performers, you did a wonderful job. Our Gospel Choir who were all cast as Actor Roles did such a kick a$$ job! Without all of you this movie wouldn’t be possible. When I find out details about where in Canada it will be aired I will let you all know! ... Please like and share! If you were one of the great background performers, let me know in the comments and what you played! My Gospel Choir, make sure to share it to your friends and family and be proud of the great job you’ve done. #jbcasting #background #torontofilmindustry #marrymethischristmas #bouncetv #checkthisout #awesomejob

A huge thank you to all my amazing followers for supporting me! I appreciate each and every one of you!! So let’s have a little fun, let me know in the comments, what is one of your special skills that you bring to the background world. Can you walk on stilts? Are you a fire breather? How about, can you drive Three on the Tree? It amazing what skills productions will need, so keep those special skills sharp and you never know and you be called upon to use that skill o...f Snake Charming that you never thought you’d need. Much love to all of you!! #jbcasting #torontocasting #lovewhatyoudo #bgcasting #castingdirector #SSE #specialskills

I’ve had numerous people ask why I love BG Casting. To me it’s like doing the finishing touches on a painting. Imagine going the theatre with no audience. Or the park with no other people there, an empty landscape, a deserted street. I have the unique opportunity to help production finish their picture. I always think of the painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by the extraordinary artist George Seurat. Imagine this painting with no families peppered through the riverside. It wouldn’t be the picture it is. It wouldn’t invoke the same emotions in people that it does. That’s my simple answer. What do you do in the film business? Why do you love it? #jbcasting #castingdirector #BGcasting #dowhatyoulove #lovewhatyoudo #motivationsinlife #torontocasting

I had the pleasure of working with Ken for a few days on the set of Umbrella Academy believe it or not as his Stand-In. I’m 6’2 and he’s 4’8. Needlessly to say, I sat around all day on an apple box! He is a wonderful man, and also an alumni of Second City, like myself. If you are a Differently Abled Talent, I implore you to consider his class. He even has a PWYC Scholarship for 2 spots if you are unable to afford his class. Take a look. I assure you having improv skills will greatly improve every audition you go to afterwards.
