🌴 MIAMI… GET READY. 🌴
🎬 MIAMI VICE IS COMING HOME.
Casting TaylorMade (Casting™) is incredibly excited to announce that we will be casting background and specialty talent for the upcoming Miami Vice movie filming right here in MIAMI. 🌴🔥
👗 COSTUME FITTINGS WILL BEGIN EARLY.
We expect to begin costume fittings at the end of October / beginning of November, so we are starting to build our casting pool NOW.
Filming is expected to take place during select weeks in December, throughout January, and into February.
And because this is a 1980s PERIOD PIECE, we need your help starting NOW.
✂️ HAIR — START PREPARING NOW
MEN
Please STOP cutting your hair and let it grow out naturally.
Longer hair gives our Hair & Makeup team much more to work with for authentic 1980s Miami looks.
Also:
Let the mustaches grow.
Let the sideburns grow.
Let the facial hair grow.
We can always adjust it later if needed, but we would much rather have MORE to work with than less.
WOMEN
For women, shorter hair is actually ideal for many of the looks we’ll be creating.
If you already have a shorter cut, bob, layered cut, or naturally period-friendly hairstyle, that is a major plus.
And if you’ve been thinking about going shorter for winter or taking your hair extensions out…
NOW IS THE MOMENT. ✂️✨
The more natural your hair is, the more flexibility our Hair & Makeup team has to create authentic 1980s Miami looks.
So the easy version:
MEN — GROW IT OUT.
WOMEN — SHORTER + NATURAL IS GREAT.
This is Miami Vice.
Think iconic Miami history.
The cars, clothes, nightlife, beaches, neighborhoods, music, colors, characters and unmistakable Miami energy that made an era legendary.
And this time, YOU could be part of creating it.
Someday you may be watching this movie and spot yourself on screen as part of the world of Miami Vice. How cool is that?! 🌴🎬

IMPORTANT INFO REGARDING WHAT A FILMING DAY / TIME COMMITMENT IS LIKE…
FILMING DAY + CALL-TIME INFORMATION
If you are new to film work, please know that filming days are typically around 12 hours. Sometimes they are shorter, and occasionally they may run a little longer (hopefully, usually NOT).
If you are with us the whole day we feed you delicious food (you do not need to bring food with you).
Your exact call time will NEVER be available until the day before filming.
Any earlier time estimates are only approximate and may change.
This is because each day we will film (start and end) sets the start times for the following days to come.
PLEASE ONLY MARK YOURSELF AVAILABLE IF:
You have complete availability for the entire filming date
You can work approximately 12 hours if needed
You do not have plans that require you to leave at a specific time on a day you apply for
