Birmingham casting call seeks actor for racist cop Munson role
A Birmingham call seeks a local male actor in his 40s for Munson, a racist cop with 21 lines in one scene, before filming starts July 20.
A Birmingham casting notice is looking for a local male actor in his 40s to play Munson, a pale-complexioned cop with a buzzcut who is described as racist and as someone who likes to push people around. The role carries 21 lines in one scene, pays $200 for a 10-hour day minus agency fee, and is non-union with no hotel or travel paid, making it a straight local-talent call for Alabama actors who can work in Birmingham.
The shoot window runs from July 20 to August 3 in Birmingham, so anyone who fits the breakdown and can stay local needs to move fast. Munson is the kind of one-scene antagonist that often matters far more than its screen time suggests: the notice points to a production filling out a gritty, conflict-heavy ensemble and looking for a performer who can hold tension in a single scene.
The notice does not name the project, but Birmingham’s casting pipeline is built to route this kind of work through local channels. Film Birmingham says it serves as the film commission for the Greater Birmingham region and connects productions with local crew and resources, while leaving casting decisions to productions and casting companies such as Callaghan Casting, which specializes in union and non-union television and film work in Birmingham and the Southeast.
The Munson breakdown lands in a state production climate that still leans on incentives and city support. Alabama’s film rebate offers 25% back on qualified production expenditures in the state and 35% on payroll paid to Alabama residents, and the Alabama Department of Revenue says the Alabama Entertainment Office can award up to $22 million in incentives for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2026. In January, the Birmingham City Council approved a $160,000 grant to Create Birmingham to keep drawing film and TV productions to the city. For local actors, that makes a 21-line antagonist role more than a side note: it is another sign that Birmingham sets are hiring for real speaking parts before cameras roll in late July.
