Understanding this distinction helps when searching for job opportunities or training programs in the entertainment industry.

How do I get a job as an actor?

To become an actor, you should gain acting training through classes or a drama program, build a portfolio with headshots and a resume, and gain experience through auditions, community theater, or student films. Networking and attending casting calls are also essential steps in securing acting roles.

What jobs can I do as an actor?

Actors can work in film, television, theater, commercials, voice-over work, and digital media. They may also take on roles such as stunt performers, stand-ins, or background extras, often requiring skills in improvisation, voice modulation, and understanding of scripts. Many actors pursue freelance or contract work, and some specialize in specific genres or mediums.

We are seeking enthusiastic, energetic, and creative individuals to join our team as Haunted Actors for our fall haunted attractions season. Each year during September and October, our cider mill transforms into a hub of thrilling, spine-chilling entertainment, hosting a variety of haunted experiences for guests of all ages. As a Haunted Actor, you will be at the heart of the excitement — bringing characters to life, delivering unforgettable scares, and creating lasting memories for our guests.

  • Maintain character integrity and energy level throughout the entire shift
  • Collaborate with fellow actors, directors, and crew to ensure smooth attraction operations
  • Attend mandatory pre-season orientation, training, and rehearsals
  • Adhere to all safety protocols and guidelines for both guests and fellow cast members
  • Report to your designated scene or zone on time and in full costume and makeup

  • Strong performance energy with the ability to maintain character for full shift duration
  • Reliable, punctual, and professional — attendance is critical to our team's success
  • Comfortably wear full costumes, masks, and theatrical makeup
  • A positive, team-player attitude and willingness to take direction
  • Prior acting, theatre, or performance experience is a plus, but not required


Working Conditions

  • Ability to work outdoors and in indoor haunted environments in varying weather conditions
  • Ability to remain in character and on your feet for multiple hours per shift
  • Tolerance for strobe lights, fog machines, loud sound effects, and other special effects
  • Comfort with close-proximity guest interaction in high-energy, fast-paced situations


Availability Requirements

Candidates must be available to work every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening throughout the entire September and October season. Shifts will run from early evening through late-night hours. Specific shift times will be communicated prior to the season start. Attendance at mandatory pre-season training (typically held in late August or early September) is also required.

W- Whatever it takes

H- Help each other be successful

A- Accountable to one another

T- Treat customers like guests in our homes and employees like family
