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:
- Landing stand-in jobs in markets other than New York City
- Becoming a star’s dedicated stand-in
- Landing principal work by working as a stand-in
- 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!

My husband auditioned for the role that eventually went to Joe Don Baker and he put me in touch with the Casting Director, Ellen Jacoby who was in charge of location casting. What an experience that was…
