ABC’s “Salamander” is now filming the pilot episode and casting TV show extras in the New York City area. NY’s Grant Wilfley Casting is now seeking NY / Tri-State locals to work as paid background actors for upcoming scenes filming in NYC. The show stars John Leguizamo, Allison Miller, Elaine Tan and Neil Sandilands. “Salamander” is described as an hour long drama series which is based on a 2012 Belgian TV series of the same name.
The show is written by Josh Appelbaum, Andre Nemec, Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg. The pilot episode is being directed by Gary Fleder. According to Deadline, the story focuses on Ethan, a brilliant but misanthropic engineer who recruits a skeptical Homeland Security psychiatrist, Nora (Miller) to help him track a mysterious bank robber whose theft of 66 specific safety deposit boxes, belonging to the elite and powerful, sets in motion a series of blackmails that might be linked to a greater conspiracy. John Leguizamo is set to play an ex cop turned bartender who happens to be the best friend of the show’s lead character, Ethan.
The pilot is written by Jeff Pinkner, Andre Nemec, Josh Applebaum and Scott Rosenberg of Midnight Radio. The four writers are also credited as executive producers on the ABC Studios produced show.
