How Liliana books extras
Ages and nationalities
From teens to seniors, we fill numbers from Japanese, mixed-heritage and international members to match the role’s age and feel.
Wardrobe for the role
We tell members in advance what to wear on the day, such as suits, casual clothes or seasonal outfits. If you provide costumes, we’ll send their sizes.
Speaking roles
Besides extras, roles with lines or acting can be proposed together through actor & actress casting.
Communication on the day
Members get the call time, meeting place and what to bring in advance, and we set a contact point for the day beforehand.
