Actors wanted for Western show filming in and around Calgary this year

Season 3 of 'Billy the Kid' will be filming in Calgary and surrounding area in the coming months.

Southern Alberta will once again play the Wild West in an upcoming production.

The third and final season of Billy the Kid will be filming in Calgary and surrounding area from March to July 2025, and background actors are wanted to help transform the area into the American frontier.

Albertan actors of all ethnic backgrounds over the age of 18 are welcome to apply, though with much of Billy the Kid being set in 19th-century New Mexico, performers of Latin American heritage in particular are wanted. Only Alberta residents are eligible and proof of residency will be required.

The gig is a paid opportunity through the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists (ACTRA) IPA (Independent Production Agreement). 

The show's titular Wild West outlaw is played by Tom Blyth, perhaps best known for starring in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023) as Cornelius Snow.

Alberta is a popular filming location for American productions, with prominent shows like The Last of Us, Fargo and My Life with the Walter Boys filming in the province.
