Be in NBC’s One Chicago show as a paid background actor.
The Chicago franchise of shows which include Chicago P.D., Chicago Fire and Chicago Med, will be keeping up their traditions of crossover episodes and are about to film the crossover episode for the 2024/2025 season. The Chicago franchise of shows has done many crossovers in its long history including the occasional crossover with another Dick Wolf franchise, Law & Order and Law & Order SVU.
In past seasons The One Chicago franchise and the Law & Order franchise of shows have done crossovers which served to blend the casts of two different franchises into one show. While we don’t know the details of the upcoming crossover episode or which casts will be combined.. guess we will find out soon enough.

ONE CHICAGO Crossover Availability Form:
Hi, everyone! This is not our usual Chicago PD / Chicago Med episodic availability form. We are working with Chicago Fire on certain days to book background for continuity, so you’re going to see a LARGE range of dates on the form. This will also serve to cover our Chicago Med and Chicago PD portion of the 3-part crossover.
*** SUPER IMPORTANT ***
Once we get a confirmed schedule, there are going to be MULTIPLE days that we will need folks to work for continuity. This means if you accept the booking, you will not be able to accept work on any other shows. These are VERY SMALL and VERY CRUCIAL scenes for the episodes, so if we don’t have you on board 100% of the way, it could easily ruin takes or scenes. If you are established as background in one of these vital roles, you must be COMMITTED to ALL dates you are booked for.
This submission form is for general background roles, which means they’re open to any gender, any ethnicity, any age. Please note that some filming days WILL BE OUTSIDE.
General background roles pay $129.60/8. The pay rate is a flat rate for any time worked up to 8 hours (it is not an hourly rate), with time + 1/2 after 8 hours. If we book you with your vehicle to be parked on set, there will be a $35 bump added to your pay. No red or white vehicles, please. If you attend a wardrobe fitting in advance of filming, a $25 bump will be added to your pay.
Here is the link to the ONE CHICAGO CROSSOVER background form: https://forms.gle/fgqzAFsjNqzSn8V38
Remember that you can go back into the form and edit your available dates, if necessary!
You can submit via email if you prefer. Please only submit 1 way / 1 time. You do not need to use the availability form and send an email. Please choose one or the other. **USING THE AVAILABILITY FORM IS PREFERRED!
We are collecting submissions for CHICAGO MED AND CHICAGO PD’S CROSSOVER through ONE EMAIL, for organization. Please ONLY submit to Chicago Med’s email to help us keep things in one place! If you are booked for PD dates, you will receive a booking email from our PD gmail address.
