It’s unclear what exactly these bendable thespians would be asked to do on The Walking Dead, but since the casting call is specifically looking for background extras, one presumes that the contortionists are probably being sought to play zombies. That isn’t for sure though, so it could also be true that maybe actors are being hired to play background members of the Saviors or Rick’s forces that will end up dying in odd ways during the coming “All-Out War” arc.
The Walking Dead season 8 is looking to hire contortionists to play background roles.
The Walking Dead season 8 premieres Sunday, October 22nd on AMC.
The background roles are listed as being open to anyone between the ages of 18 and 50, regardless of gender or ethnicity.
