‘NCIS: Hawai’i’ Seeking for Extras to Cast

The “NCIS: Hawai’i” casting crew is presently on the lookout for extras to appear in the show. The easy role only requires the person to act normally.

Shayne Hartigan, a member of Alessi Hartigan Casting, described what they’re looking for in an extra.

“I’m so excited,” she said. “We really want to get all, all kinds of inclusion in on this project, so of course, you know, the military, the HPD presence, but also the local community and shop owners and restaurateurs and anybody possible.”

No prior experience necessary for this walk-on part. The show’s main focus is to capture an accurate depiction of Hawaii.

Everyone chosen for the role will essentially act as filler in the background of “NCIS: Hawai’i” scenes. Actress Vanessa Lachey stars in the new crime series as Jane Tennant. She’s also the first female lead across all “NCIS” series.
