Hey everyone, I’m looking to get into background acting and I’m currently signing up with Central Casting. I’m over 21, and during the signup process I saw that they’re asking for an I-9 aide.

I’m a little confused about what exactly an I-9 aide is and why I need one. Is this something that’s normally required when signing up for background acting, or is it specific to Central Casting?

Is it necessary to have an I-9 aide before I can start getting background work?

Also, for anyone who has worked with Central Casting, is it a good company to sign up with? What has your experience been like getting background work through them?

Just trying to make sure I understand everything before I complete the signup. Thanks!
