Pasifika and Māori background extras for Auckland productions, late August–October

Description: Casting Link is recruiting background performers of Samoan, Tongan, Cook Island Māori and Māori descent for a slate of film and television projects shooting in Auckland. The listing, posted on 30 July 2026, asks for availability between late August and October 2026. On-set experience is not required — the agency says training is provided. Intake stays open across the whole window, so we use 5 October 2026 as the cut-off.

Requirements: All genders, aged 18 to 60, of Samoan, Tongan, Cook Island Māori or Māori descent, living in Auckland with reliable personal transport to filming locations. No previous on-set experience needed.

Pay: Paid extras work through the agency; the listing does not publish a daily rate.

How to apply: Register with Casting Link through the 'Join Now' section of their site, including clothed body shots. Enquiries: hello@castinglink.nz. Availability required from late August to October 2026.
