Tyler Perry needs extras for yet another Madea movie
Tyler Perry has another Madea movie in the works and is seeking extras.
The project, “Madea’s Witness Protection,” will be filming here through March. They need folks of all looks, all races, both men and women. You do need to be 18 or older.
The casting folks are also looking for people with professional work attire and flexible work schedules. The pay is $8 per hour for a guarantee of eight hours for extras if you are booked, or $120 for 12 hours for stand-ins who are booked.
They advise you need to be available for a 12 to 14-hour day, and note that “set etiquette” is a must. In other words do not think Tyler Perry is going to be posing with you for photos that you can post on your Facebook page. Quite the opposite. You’ll be asked to sign all sorts of confidentiality paperwork.
See TPSExtras.com and click on the label “How to Become an Extra” for more details.

Someone once said to me he(Tyler) wanted to wear a dress. I cannot recall if the Medea movies were a tribute to his grandmother or mother. It is a doggone shame at this point in time that Tyler cannot find one black female actress who could take on the characteristics of Madea. I got Diary of a Mad Black Woman and another on VHS. I can’t bear to look at them anymore. They were and still funny but it can get tedious explaining to young black boys why this grown man dresses up in women’s clothes. Flip Wilson had other characters besides Geraldine, Jamie Foxx has other characters beyond Wanda the ugly woman. As for Martin Lawrence…the jury’s still out.

Are you that naive to think he reads all his emails from fans? PLEASE! just because he is black he is not a savior…..He is offering his people a whole$8 an hour to work an 8 to 12 hour job and god forbid he is asked for a picture from the people who made him a millionaire. I say his people because all his films are majority black actors…..He is no different than a greedy rich white millionaire who rubs elbows with oprah

I think he is gay, in real life. That is why he can fit into that role so well because as an actor he stinks, he is a better director. only my lil ole opinion

Shut the hell up Nin! If he offered you a jod you’d take it. Who cares if you think he’s gay. You stupid and rude. It seems you hate gays.

I’m a bl/thai girl now what? I hate when someone down talks the man. If you don’t like Tyler why you on here leaving negative comments? Leaving comments means you have interest.

I have seen almost all of Mr Tyler’s movies and am grateful to God that he makes them. Now I’m trying to be an extra on a set. Look for me in a hat (if they’ll let me).BTW, I’m white and over 60 and know this world not only needs more laughter but more hope. Madea provides both.

I’m homeless and have tried everything under the sun to become a productive citizen. I have Learned no matter what I try I fail but I’m determined to become the woman that God has called me to be. Acting is my call because with any role I become that individual. So if given the opportunity I will give it my all and also I’m open for corrective criticism also will remain teachable. my phone # is 903-445-5276. thank u for your support in this matter. To God be the Glory.
