The Stand-In Central Interview Series provides interviews with professional stand-ins to educate others on the job of standing in.
If you have a great angle on standing in, a fantastic stand-in story, or if your stand-in job involves special talents, email the editor at Stand-In Central and we just may interview you!
We can conduct an interview over email or in person (depending on your location). Stand-In Central interviews are great ways to promote yourself as a stand-in and as an actor!
Here are some angles that might interest us for interviews:
- Becoming a star’s dedicated stand-in
- Landing principal work by working as a stand-in
- Landing stand-in jobs in markets other than New York City
- Standing in on soap operas
- Standing in on productions with live studio audiences
- Standing in on productions with three or more cameras
- Working as a utility stand-in
- Standing in for the opposite sex
- Rehearsing scenes with principal actors
- Eating healthfully and keeping fit when on set
- Etc.!
We aim to keep Stand-In Central informative and entertaining. Stand-In Central is a non-authoritative website dedicated to being a helpful resource for the television and film stand-in. If you’d like to contribute toward this goal, please email the editor!
Awesome page! I have done a lot of stand in work recently. I was on ‘Glee’ when they were filming in N.Y. and I am also on HBO’s new show ‘Girls’ You’re post was very cool to read, I was surprised there was anything like this on the internet!

Hey Mark, thanks for commenting! We’ll probably run into each other at some point. I’ve done a couple days standing in on Girls (Love the show already!) so we’ve probably missed each other. The blog is updated about once a week on Wednesday nights at 10pm, so stop by to see what’s new! And please pass this site on to anyone who needs information on standing in.
Cheers,
Ben
