MCTV people standing in for the new season of Bachelor

/in , /by

A group of MCTV people were on set as stand-ins for the hugely popular series The Bachelor. Stand-ins are not body doubles to be 100% clear. Stand-ins take the place of the real actors (or in this case contestants) for the purpose of lighting and sound rehearsals among other things. The stand-ins need to be of a similar build and complexion to the actors who will be playing the roles. As a stand-in you get great experience on set taking direction and often get to brush shoulders with major stars.

Hundreds of MCTV People submitted for new SBS drama

/in , /by

We have been submitting hundreds of people for a new SBS crime drama by the same people who brought you Redfern Now and Ready for this Blackfella Films . On SBS’s twitter feed they describe it as a show that “uncovers the gay hate crime epidemic in Syd during the 80s & 90s”. They also describe it as “A cross-genre/platform event” which I guess means there will be online components as well.

With so many MCTV talent working on the first season of Here Come the Habib’s we are delighted to hear the news that it has been renewed for a second season. This was a bold move by Channel Nine to commission this new comedy and hopefully the success will spur them on further. It will mean more work for MCTV Talent when filming starts up again.

A risky move into comedy pays off with Nine greenlighting more of its new sitcom.

MCTV submitting stand ins for Major Motion Picture

/in , /by

Back in 2000 when Mission Impossible 2 was filmed in Sydney, MCTV supplied stand-ins for a number of actors including Tom Cruise himself. Each time a major production is filming in Sydney, we are asked to search through our books for people who look similar to the main stars. More often than not we find someone who fits the bill. It’s no different today, with major productions happening in Sydney in the coming months we have been searching for talent that look like famous movie stars. It looks like at least one of our people will get a role and we have our fingers crossed for others.
