NBC’s new series ‘Chicago PD’ is a spin-off of the Chicago Fire series. Both shows are projects that Dick Wolf is working on. Dick Wolf also created the Law & Order series. Others involved in the show are Michael Brandt, Derek Haas and Matt Olmstead. The show stars Don Kress, Andre Bellos and America Olivo.
All extra roles are paid roles. Most extras can expect to make about $64 for an 8 hour day. You should expect to be on set anywhere from 8 to 12 hours so a flexible schedule is a requirement.
