In a previous post I mentioned that Chicago was the number one place to live and work as a filmmaker. According to Backstage, it’s also gearing up to be a great place to find television work. Previously, Chicago actors were mostly relegated to Cop #1, Punk with Blue Hair type roles while the bigger Recurring, Guest Star, etc. spots were auditioned and cast out of town. Now, Chicago based actors are getting more opportunities to nab those kinds of roles.

Exciting times.
