NBC’s upcoming “Chicago Fire” spin-off, “Chicago PD,” is holding an open casting call for extras this Sunday.
The casting call will take place at The Service Building (2nd floor), 2600 W. 16th. (Park in the free lot off 16th Street across from the Cinespace Office Building.) Hopefuls can show up anytime between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Extras must be at least 18 years old.
Here’s what Bill Marinella Casting says it’s looking for — verbatim — for the Dick Wolf-produced drama slated to debut on NBC sometime early next year:
