They asked my parents bridge club for a bunch of extras for a few scenes. My parents volunteered and should be hearing back soon.

I was an extra on Hell on Wheels. Great experience. Really fun to be part of the show, go through wardrobe, hair, make-up etc and see how shows are made from the inside.

Be prepared for very long hours, crap pay, and varying schedules though..

Yeah. It's more about the experience, I guess. I would probably do it for free just for that.

Wow. Busy today. Season 1, I saw barely anybody at the casting call. This is like a Disney ride line up.

Wasn't bad actually. Got there at 9:25, left by 9:45. It is present day too, so no need to add everyone's measurements this time.

Ha. I went there at 1:30 and left at 3:15. I almost left when I saw the line, but thought what the hell... better than going to Costco with my wife. Can you add yourself to IMDb for being an extra? I figure it would be kind of cool.

I am not sure if there were anymore CPers there, but some guy with a fancy moustache looked familiar.

Thats kinda too bad its being done in present day this time. I really enjoyed the throwback look of the show in the first 2 seasons. Kinda added an extra element to it.

It's going to be about the same time difference as season one.

The first season was set in 2006 and aired in 2014. The third season is set in 2010 and will air in 2017.

Hah. Good timing... I was just about to post an article.

Minnesota accents are hard, if you’re from Scotland. 2010 feels like a long time ago. Zero degrees is shorts weather, if you’re from Calgary. And Noah Hawley has outdone himself with the character names for season three of “Fargo.”

These are among the insights shared by “Fargo” stars Ewan McGregor, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Carrie Coon, David Thewlis, Michael Stuhlbarg and exec producer Warren Littlefield on Thursday during the Television Critics Association press tour panel on the series that began production in the Calgary area earlier this month. (Hawley was scheduled to participate but bowed out because he was under the weather.)

Season three of Fargo is set to begin filming in Beiseker in early January and all ten episodes are going to be filmed in the village.

Beiseker Mayor Ray Courtman says producers had their eye on the tiny community for quite some time.

"Apparently they've been looking at Beiseker for the last two years, we were approached and asked if we wouldn't mind if our town was turned into Eden Valley Minnesota."

He says several businesses will be renting out parts or all of their building to become sets for the series and adds the village will also see some compensation.

Courtman says crews are already starting to prepare for the transformation.

"The production team is going to decend on Beiseker earlier in the year, they've done some renovations and building ehre already."

Mayor Courtman says it's going to look like Christmas in Beiseker until spring.

"The whole series is supposed to have to have taken place in 2010 over a period of about three weeks around Christmastime."

He says producers said they couldn't have found a more perfect location than Beiseker for the episodes.

Hopefully they can find a way to incorporate Squirt the skunk into the show...

Some of the people who comment on celebrity Instagram photos and videos are so sad.
