We are looking for over 2,000 extras for the fourth season of "Babylon Berlin". "Emaciated, lived faces" are in demand.
For the fourth season of the successful Sky and ARD series "Babylon Berlin", the makers seem to have big plans. This is indicated by the casting call from the Filmgesichter agency, who are looking for "over 2,000 extras from Berlin / Brandenburg" for the new episodes of the German crime TV series. Accordingly, "men between 18-50 years of age and women of all ages with chin-length or shorter hair (or the willingness to have their hair cut to this length)" are in demand.
This requirement for actresses is justified by the fact that the "contemporary haircut" of the 20s and 30s – that is, pageboy cut or bob hair – can be depicted credibly and without wigs. But men too may have to say goodbye to their hair: with a few exceptions ("full beards for older men"), beards are not desirable Mask department gets. " With this cut, the hair is shortest on the nape and sides and becomes longer towards the top hair. In addition, extras must not be taller than 185 cm and must not have a "solarium tan, artificial fingernails, piercings and / or visible tattoos".
Search for "lived faces"
Explicitly asked for the new episodes directed by Tom Tykwer (55), Achim von Borries (52) and Henk Handloegten (53) "also disabled people with amputations, people with physical malformations (eg deformed limbs) and / or physical disabilities" . Just like "'emaciated' looking women and men, preferably with lived faces and / or skinny bodies."
Filming is scheduled for spring and summer. After the stock market crash at the end of the third "Babylon Berlin" season, the world economic crisis will serve as the historical background in season four.
