Paramount production 'Landman' launches open casting calls for extras across Fort Worth
The vibrant cultural and filming scene in Fort Worth is gearing up for a significant economic and creative boost as casting directors for the hit Paramount drama series 'Landman' officially launched open casting calls for background extras across the city. The production, which chronicles the high-stakes, ruthless world of the modern West Texas oil boom, is setting up local shoots across historic and industrial pockets of Fort Worth, offering competitive daily compensation rates for everyday residents interested in appearing on camera alongside top-tier Hollywood talent.
Casting coordinators have issued broad calls seeking men and women of all ages and backgrounds to portray roughneck oil workers, boardroom corporate executives, diners, and blue-collar citizens to bring visual authenticity to the series' distinctive Texas aesthetic. Local production offices confirmed that filming will take place at multiple recognizable outdoor and architectural landmarks across Tarrant County over the coming months. Participants selected for extra roles will receive standard industry daily wages, with specialized pay bump opportunities for those providing specialized vehicles, wardrobe accessories, or western workwear matching the show's gritty visual tone.
Civic leaders and the Fort Worth Film Commission have enthusiastically welcomed the production’s continued footprint, emphasizing the immense secondary economic benefits brought to local hospitality, equipment rental, catering, and retail establishments. Fort Worth has rapidly emerged as a premier filming destination in the Southwest, drawing major television and feature projects due to its authentic architectural heritage, cooperative municipal administration, and state film incentive frameworks. Aspiring actors, local movie buffs, and curious Fort Worth residents are submitting headshots and availability forms online as directors prepare to roll cameras across the city's historic streets.
