What is a temporary actor?

A Temporary Actor is a performer hired for a short-term role in theater, film, television, or live events. These roles may include stand-ins, background actors, or performers in seasonal productions. Temporary Actors are typically contracted for a specific duration or project, without long-term commitments. They may audition for different roles frequently and work on a flexible schedule.

What types of projects or productions might a temporary actor typically work on?

Temporary Actors are often engaged for a wide range of projects, including commercials, live events, theater productions, corporate training videos, or filling in for cast members in film and television. Assignments can vary greatly in length and scope, from one-day shoots to multi-week engagements, depending on the production's needs. Temporary actors commonly join established teams for short-term periods, requiring them to quickly adapt to different working styles and expectations. This flexibility not only enhances your acting experience but also helps you build a diverse professional network and gain exposure to various media formats. Temporary roles can serve as valuable stepping stones to more permanent or higher-profile acting opportunities.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the temporary actor position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Temporary Actor, strong acting ability, versatility, and quick memorization skills are essential, often backed by some formal training or experience in performing arts. Familiarity with industry-specific tools such as scripts, audition software, and self-taping equipment is beneficial. Outstanding adaptability, professionalism, and the ability to quickly build rapport with diverse teams set top performers apart. These skills are crucial as temporary actors must quickly integrate into new roles and environments while maintaining high performance on short notice.

We are seeking enthusiastic, energetic, and creative individuals to join our team as Haunted Actors for our fall haunted attractions season.

  • 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.
