CHALLENGER is a limited series inspired by the true story of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, exploring the people, ambitions and decisions surrounding America’s space program in the years leading up to the 1986 tragedy and its aftermath.

Spanning the 1970s through the late 1980s, the series is set against a transformative era in American history, from the evolution of NASA and the Space Shuttle program to the culture, fashion and everyday life of the period.

Casting TaylorMade is seeking MANY different types of background performers to help us tell this story as authentically and historically accurately as possible.

And you know how much we LOVE creating an 1980s world! We’re bringing it 110% for this production, and we’d love your help making this world as authentic as possible.

✂️ HAIR + FACIAL HAIR

If you’re interested in working on CHALLENGER, please STOP cutting your hair at this time! Longer, grown-out, natural hair gives our Hair & Makeup team much more to work with when creating authentic 1970s and 1980s looks. The same goes for facial hair — let it grow!

There are A LOT of different types of roles we’ll be casting throughout this production, and we promise: if your hair and/or facial hair is right for the period and what we’re looking for, we will find a spot for you on this one!

And no need to text us asking if we saw your submission — we see you. 😉 We review your submissions and photos carefully and will reach out when we have the right fit for you.

📸 PLEASE HELP US WITH YOUR PHOTOS

Please upload a CURRENT close-up photo and a CURRENT full-length photo. Professional photos are NOT needed — current, clear photos are much more helpful to us!

• Upload NO MORE THAN 3 photos

• NO videos/movies

• Make sure we can clearly see your current hair + facial hair

• BEFORE uploading to Dropbox, save each photo to your computer or phone using your FIRST + LAST NAME as the file name

The easier you make it for us to identify you and see exactly what you look like RIGHT NOW, the easier it is for us to find the right spot for you!
🚨 Please do not cut or change your hair after submitting. This series takes place during the 1970s–1980s, and natural, grown-out hair and facial hair can work strongly in your favor.

👗 FITTINGS

👞 WARDROBE

Costumes will also provide a specific list of clothing, shoes and/or accessories to bring from home, and we would LOVE your help with this! The more period-appropriate options we have to work with, the better we can build this world together.

If you are able to, please start GROWING OUT your hair and facial hair now and avoid making any major cuts or changes.

If selected, we may ask you to make slight alterations to your hair or facial hair, so please let us know in the questions below exactly what you ARE and ARE NOT comfortable changing.

Please do not make any changes specifically for the production unless we ask you to.

NOW CASTING EXPERIENCED STAND-INS — CHALLENGER (LIMITED SERIES)

Casting TaylorMade is currently seeking EXPERIENCED STAND-INS, AGES 18+ for the upcoming limited series CHALLENGER filming in Atlanta, GA.

We truly appreciate everyone who is interested in getting involved with a production and gaining experience. However, due to the scope, schedule and specific demands of this series, CHALLENGER is not the production where we are looking to train first-time stand-ins.

We will also be building our RECURRING CORE CHARACTER STAND-IN TEAM, with select stand-ins potentially working consistently throughout the production.

Because stand-in work requires consistency, reliability and familiarity with the position, your overall availability is extremely important.

👧🏽👦🏼 ATLANTA KIDS — IT'S YOUR TURN!

Casting TaylorMade is now accepting submissions for CHILDREN + TEENS to work as paid background performers on CHALLENGER, a new limited series filming in Atlanta, GA.

We will be casting minors for select scenes throughout the production and are excited to start building our pool of younger performers who can help us authentically bring the 1970s and 1980s to life.

We encourage parents to submit their children for consideration, even if they have no previous acting or on-set experience. We're looking for a variety of ages, looks and personalities to give us plenty of great options when matching children to the specific needs of each scene.

🗓️ BLOCK 1 FILMING DATES

September 21st – October 29th, 2026

The series will continue filming through February 28th, 2027.

Minors will be cast for select scenes throughout filming and will NOT be needed for every filming date.

For this first block, we currently anticipate most booked minors working 1–2 filming dates.

Please give us your child's overall availability for ALL of the dates listed below, even though they will only be booked for the specific date(s) needed for their scene.

The MORE availability you give us, the MORE opportunities we have to potentially find the right spot for your child!

Please only select dates your child is truly available to work, but don't limit your selections based on which dates you would prefer. We will use the availability you provide to match your child to the scenes and dates where we may need them.

If your child is selected, the Casting TaylorMade team will contact you with the specific role + filming date(s) before booking.

📍 FILMING LOCATION: ATLANTA, GA

Your child must be able to work as a local to Atlanta.
No travel or housing will be provided.

💵 BACKGROUND RATE

$182/10 hrs (filming)

$28/2hrs (fitting)

*Minors will work only the hours legally permitted for their age - which could be less than 10hrs, rate still applied.

🚀 ABOUT CHALLENGER

CHALLENGER is a limited series inspired by the true story of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, exploring the people, ambitions and decisions surrounding America's space program in the years leading up to the 1986 tragedy and its aftermath.

Spanning the 1970s through the late 1980s, the series will recreate everyday life during this era, including families, neighborhoods, schools, community events, airports, celebrations, memorials and crowds.

We're looking for a variety of children and teens to help us authentically bring this world to life!

🌟 CHECK OUT THE ROLES & DETAILS BELOW!

✂️ HAIR — PLEASE READ!

Because CHALLENGER takes place throughout the 1970s and 1980s, your child's CURRENT HAIR is an important part of our casting process.

If your child is interested in working on the production, please avoid making any major hair changes right now if possible!

Longer, grown-out and natural hair gives our Hair Department much more to work with when creating authentic period looks.

If selected, we may ask whether you are comfortable allowing our Hair Department to make small changes, such as trimming, shaping or styling your child's hair for their specific period look.

Please DO NOT cut or change your child's hair specifically for this production unless Casting TaylorMade asks you to.

The submission form will give you an opportunity to tell us exactly what you ARE and ARE NOT comfortable allowing us to change.

📸 PLEASE HELP US WITH YOUR CHILD'S PHOTOS

Please upload:

1 CURRENT close-up photo
1 CURRENT full-length photo

Professional photos are NOT needed! Current, clear photos are MUCH more helpful to us.

• Upload NO MORE THAN 3 photos

• NO videos

• Make sure we can clearly see your child's current hair

• Please do not submit heavily filtered or edited photos

• BEFORE uploading to Dropbox, please save each photo to your device using your child’s FIRST + LAST NAME as the file name.

  ⚠️ THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ON OUR END.

  The easiest way to do this is to save the photos to your desktop or phone first, rename each file with your child’s FIRST + LAST NAME, and then upload them to Dropbox.

  If we cannot properly identify your child’s photos, we sadly will not be able to book them.

  Please take the extra minute to get this part right. Submitting quickly isn’t the win — submitting CORRECTLY is. ✅

The easier you make it for us to identify your child and see exactly what they look like RIGHT NOW, the easier it is for us to find the right spot for them!

📧 IMPORTANT FOR PARENTS — EMAIL INFORMATION

We completely understand that it is MUCH easier for parents to manage casting communication for their children through one parent/guardian email address.

YES — you may use YOUR email address when submitting your child.

The FIRST EMAIL ADDRESS you provide in this form will be the email Casting TaylorMade uses for ALL casting and booking correspondence regarding your child.

Later in the form, we will ask you to provide a SEPARATE EMAIL ADDRESS FOR YOUR CHILD.

THIS SECOND EMAIL IS FOR PAYROLL PURPOSES ONLY.

It will be used ONLY for payment/payroll processing and will NOT be used by Casting TaylorMade for casting correspondence.

CASTING / BOOKING COMMUNICATION → Parent/Guardian Email

PAYROLL / PAYMENT ONLY → Child's Separate Email

Please make sure these are two different email addresses.

👗 COSTUME FITTINGS

A costume fitting will be required for minors who are booked for roles requiring a fitting.

📍 Fittings will be held at the studio in Doraville, GA 30360.

Fittings are separate from filming days and are typically scheduled in advance of your child's filming date.

If your child is selected, we will send you a fitting sign-up link with the available dates and times.

Costumes may also ask your child to bring certain clothing, shoes and/or accessories from home to help complete their period look.

⭐️ TELL US ABOUT YOUR CHILD!

Your child does not need professional acting experience or special training to work as background on CHALLENGER.

We'd simply love to know a little more about them!

In the form below, please tell us about any activities, hobbies, sports or special abilities your child has.

Some examples:

• ⚽ Sports

• 🏊 Swimming

You never know what might be perfect for a scene.

🎭 WHAT TYPES OF ROLES WILL KIDS PLAY?

Casting TaylorMade will match each child with the role and scene we feel they are best suited for.

Throughout the production, we may be looking for children and teens to portray:

Families + Children • Neighborhood Kids • School Kids • Students • Airport Travelers • Party Guests • Community Events • Memorial Attendees • Pedestrians • Period Family Scenes • Friends + Siblings

There is no need to choose a specific role when submitting.

You give us the information. We'll do the matching. 😉

📅 BLOCK 1 FILMING SCHEDULE

DATES

• 9/21 + 10/1 — MANDATORY 2-DAY BOOKING

  • If your child works on 9/21, they MUST also be available to work on 10/1.

  • These are matching scenes, so availability for BOTH dates is critically important.

• 10/4

• 10/22

• 10/29

PLEASE NOTE: We are collecting your child's availability across the entire Block 1 schedule so we know which children are available as we build each scene.

This does NOT mean your child would work all of the dates selected. Most booked minors are currently anticipated to work 1–2 filming dates during this block.

Filming is not always Monday–Friday and includes Sundays 9/27 and 10/4. Please review the specific dates carefully when submitting availability.

Casting TaylorMade (Casting™) is continuing to cast a number of important featured, specialty and recurring background roles for upcoming CHALLENGER filming dates.

⭐ ALREADY BOOKED WITH US?

If you are already booked for another CHALLENGER role, please do NOT think this means your existing role is any less important.

Many of our already-booked groups are featured, recurring, matching, close to camera or important to specific scenes.

And within those groups, individuals may also be placed in more featured positions depending on what Production needs.

We are always submitting everyone for these upgraded opportunities.
That is how we do it at Casting TaylorMade.

This casting call is simply for some of the additional specialty and recurring roles we are still filling.

…please tell us in the form.

That kind of real-world familiarity can definitely help seal the deal.

We are casting someone to portray a Co-Pilot.

Actual pilot or aviation experience is NOT mandatory, but it is absolutely a plus.

If you have:

Pilot experience • Flight training • Airline experience • Aviation experience • Military aviation experience

please tell us.

Again, you are portraying the role on camera — not actually flying anything. ✈️

🧹 KSC JANITOR

🎥 FILMING: Tuesday 9/22

We are casting someone to portray a KSC Janitor within the Kennedy Space Center world.

Real custodial, facilities or maintenance experience is not required, but if you have it, please let us know.

Wednesday 9/30 — NASA Family Greeters
Thursday 10/1 — NASA Family Greeters

Warm • Friendly • Professional • Welcoming presence

You do not need professional hospitality experience.

But if you have worked in:

Hospitality • Guest Services • Airlines • Events • Hotels • Customer Service

please tell us. That kind of experience can help make you an especially natural fit on camera.

🚀 NASA GREETERS

There is also a separate NASA Greeter role within the NASA / KSC world.

These background performers will help create the welcoming, public-facing side of the NASA environment.

You do not need professional greeter or hospitality experience. We are looking for people who naturally come across as warm, friendly, professional and approachable.

Experience in hospitality, guest services, airlines, events, hotels or customer service is definitely a plus, but not required.

🎥 FILMING DATES:

Tuesday 9/22
Tuesday 10/6
Wednesday 10/7

🔁 IMPORTANT MATCHING NOTE:
The 10/6 and 10/7 NASA Greeter work is MATCHING / recurring within Block 1, so availability for BOTH 10/6 and 10/7 is MANDATORY.

🏊 JSC LIFEGUARDS + SWIMMING ROLES

🎥 FILMING: Sunday 9/27

Real security, military or law-enforcement experience is NOT mandatory, but it can absolutely help.

If you have relevant experience, tell us about it in the form.

⭐ EXPERIENCE HELPS — BUT IT IS NOT EVERYTHING

For these roles, we are looking at the TOTAL PACKAGE:

Your look
Your availability
Your reliability
Your photos
Your ability to naturally fit the role
And, when applicable, your real-life experience

You are portraying these jobs — you are NOT expected to actually perform them.

But if you genuinely know the environment, terminology, posture or behavior because you have done something similar in real life, that can make you look especially believable on camera.

So please tell us about it.

📸 CURRENT PHOTOS PLEASE

👞 WARDROBE

Costumes will also provide a specific list of clothing, shoes and/or accessories to bring from home, and we would LOVE your help with this! The more period-appropriate options we have to work with, the better we can build this world together.

✂️ HAIR + FACIAL HAIR

If you’re interested in working on CHALLENGER, please STOP cutting your hair at this time! Longer, grown-out, natural hair gives our Hair & Makeup team much more to work with when creating authentic 1970s and 1980s looks. The same goes for facial hair — let it grow!

RATE: $182/12hrs

🎬 ROLES

JSC PERSONNEL
FEMALE ASTRONAUT TRAINEE

I’m a few people short (bc ends up I don’t always know how to count- can’t win it all- lol) for our JSC Personnel & an EXAMINER role this Sunday, 9/27, and we could really use your help so Costumes and I can remain besties.

FILMING: Sunday 9/27
CALL TIME: approximately 7:30 AM
LOCATION: Midtown Atlanta

Even better: if we book you for JSC Personnel or Female Astronaut Trainee, you can 100% work with us again on Sunday 10/4, and this is a role we’ll be using on additional dates throughout the season. So this is definitely not a one-time opportunity! 🚀

We are specifically looking for people who can help provide some of their own wardrobe options for the role. Costumes will still need to fit/check you before you go to camera, but these fittings usually take around an hour, so having the right wardrobe pieces with you will help us tremendously.

Please let us know below.

1. Are you available Sunday 9/27 @ 7:30 AM call time?

2. Are you also available Sunday 10/4?

3. Do you own wardrobe similar to the examples we’re looking for and can bring options with you?

4. Are you ALREADY BOOKED with us for something other than AIRPORT or MEMORIAL?

If you’re available and a good fit, I’ll book you as soon as I can.

And this is NOT a giant call day. We’re specifically trying to fill a few remaining JSC spots with the right people.

Thank you SO much for helping us out! ❤️🚀

📸 CURRENT PHOTOS PLEASE

Please upload a CURRENT close-up photo and a CURRENT full-length photo. Professional photos are NOT needed — current, clear photos are much more helpful to us!

👞 WARDROBE

JSC PERSONNEL — WARDROBE HELP NEEDED
FEMALE TRAINEE — NO WARDROBE NEEDED

For this RUSH CALL role, Costumes needs your help providing some of your own wardrobe pieces so we can get you camera-ready quickly for Sunday.

Please look carefully at the reference photos below and let us know if you own clothing that is similar in style, color and overall look.

You do not need to own the exact outfit pictured. We are simply looking for pieces that can help us create the correct 1980s JSC / NASA personnel look.

If booked, please be prepared to bring multiple wardrobe options with you. Costumes will review everything, make the final selections and fit you before you go to camera.

PLEASE LET US KNOW:

YES — I own wardrobe similar to the reference photos and can bring options

SOMEWHAT — I have a few pieces that may work

NO — I do not have wardrobe similar to the references

📸 SEE WARDROBE REFERENCE PHOTOS BELOW

✂️ HAIR + FACIAL HAIR

If you’re interested in working on CHALLENGER, please STOP cutting your hair at this time!

Longer, grown-out, natural hair gives our Hair & Makeup team much more to work with when creating authentic 1970s and 1980s looks.

For men, we are NOT looking for full beards for these upcoming looks. Mustaches are great, so please feel free to let those grow, and longer sideburns are also a major plus for the period.

There are A LOT of different types of roles we’ll be casting throughout this production, and if your hair and facial hair work for the period and what Production needs, we will absolutely keep you in mind.

And no need to text us asking if we saw your submission — we see you. 😉 We review your submissions and photos carefully and will reach out when we have the right fit for you.

For these roles, we are looking for people who closely match the person pictured in the reference photo.

We will be considering:

• Height
• Build / body type
• Hair color + style (willing to change it)
• Skin tone / complexion
• General physical appearance
• Clothing / wardrobe measurements

➡️ PLEASE LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE REFERENCE PHOTO BEFORE SUBMITTING.

You do not need to look exactly like the person facially, but your overall physical appearance, coloring, hair, height and build need to be close enough to double for them on camera.

👔 IMPORTANT — ROLES BELOW ARE SIZE SPECIFIC

Several of the military and law-enforcement roles will be wearing existing period uniforms, which means we cannot simply wardrobe every size.

If you select one of those roles, we will ask for your CURRENT and ACCURATE measurements in the form.

PLEASE DO NOT GUESS YOUR SIZES - PLEASE DO NOT LIE - EVERYONE WILL BE EFFECTED

Accurate measurements will help us determine which available uniform may work for you.

⭐ ALREADY BOOKED WITH US?

If you are already booked for another CHALLENGER role, please do NOT think this means your existing role is any less important.

Many of our already-booked groups are featured, recurring, matching, close to camera or important to specific scenes. Many of you are working this day already.

And within those groups, individuals may also be placed in more featured positions depending on what Production needs.

We are always submitting everyone for these upgraded opportunities.
That is how we do it at Casting TaylorMade.

October 4th - is a BIG DAY.
I am not trying to hide that, it’s a sad moment in the history of our country as we pay respect to those Astronauts in 1986. Come be a part of this- and it’s on a Sunday, very organized production - our last big day was a pleasure :)

If you feel the role you have been booked for was not featured already or you are not in a more featured group you can apply to work again to this day!

📸 CURRENT PHOTOS PLEASE

Please upload a CURRENT close-up photo and a CURRENT full-length photo. Professional photos are NOT needed — current, clear photos are much more helpful to us!

• Upload NO MORE THAN 3 photos

• NO videos/movies

• Make sure we can clearly see your current hair + facial hair

• BEFORE uploading to Dropbox, save each photo to your computer or phone using your FIRST + LAST NAME as the file name

The easier you make it for us to identify you and see exactly what you look like RIGHT NOW, the easier it is for us to find the right spot for you!

👗 FITTINGS

A costume fitting will be required this coming week 9/27 - 10/1 for booked background performers. This is an important part of creating the correct period look for each scene.

👞 WARDROBE

Costumes will also provide a specific list of clothing, shoes and/or accessories to bring from home, and we would LOVE your help with this! The more period-appropriate options we have to work with, the better we can build this world together.

✂️ HAIR + FACIAL HAIR

If you’re interested in working on CHALLENGER, please STOP cutting your hair at this time! Longer, grown-out, natural hair gives our Hair & Makeup team much more to work with when creating authentic 1970s and 1980s looks. The same goes for facial hair — let it grow!

There are A LOT of different types of roles we’ll be casting throughout this production, and we promise: if your hair and/or facial hair is right for the period and what we’re looking for, we will find a spot for you on this one!

And no need to text us asking if we saw your submission — we see you. 😉 We review your submissions and photos carefully and will reach out when we have the right fit for you.
