Casting Calls in New Zealand

New Zealand casting calls across Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and the regions. Film, TV, commercials and extras work.

Find current casting calls across New Zealand, from Auckland and Wellington to Christchurch and the regions. New Zealand hosts international feature films and series as well as local TV, commercials and independent productions. Extras and background roles are a good way to start, and many need no prior experience. Check each listing for location, dates and pay, as productions often film outside the main centres.

All roles listed are for performers aged 18 and over. Open any listing for dates, pay and role details. A genuine casting will never ask you to pay a fee to apply.

Listing Badges Explained

Please use these listing badges as a guide only. Members must conduct their own research to assess the validity of each casting before responding.

Verified

Our highest level of check. We've screened this casting against our full criteria and either confirmed it comes from a reputable, well-established casting professional, or made direct contact with the person or organisation running it.

Screened

We've put this casting through a range of checks and everything provided appears legitimate. We haven't made direct contact with the caster, so we still recommend doing your own research before responding.

Sourced

We found this casting and we're passing it on. Verification is limited, because only limited information was available about the casting and the people behind it. Please do your own research before responding.

Important casting safety information

Castings and their posters are not affiliated with Actors and Extras, and we cannot guarantee every listing. Verify details independently and review our Casting Call Terms and Conditions before responding.

When applying for a casting or an audition:

  • Never pay to apply, audition, secure a role or take part in a production.
  • Never share financial, identity or password details.
  • Never send explicit content or comply with inappropriate audition requests.
  • Never attend unsafe auditions; minors need a guardian.
  • Never transfer money or buy gift cards, crypto or equipment.
  • Remember: if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

If anyone asks you to do any of these things, stop communicating with them and report the casting immediately.
