NBC’s “Revolution” begins filming in Austin Friday, and producers are looking for lots and lots of extras to fill a variety of roles now through late April.

In addition to exposure on a hit primetime series, you’ll also get paid. Non-union extras will make $64 for an eight-hour day, plus time-and-a-half for any overtime. Snacks will be provided, as well.

Pretty cool, huh?

Here’s a diverse, highly specific list of some of the extras they’re looking to cast. Descriptions are theirs, not mine.

• Thin, frail men, women and children
• Heavily pierced and/or tattooed men and women
• Men and women with odd, interesting body modifications
• Jugglers and carnival sideshow acts
• Super gorgeous beautiful women
• Hipsters
• Men and women with military or law enforcement experience
• Very elderly men and women with wrinkles and character faces
• Refugee camp-types
• Homeless-types

• Wild and scary tribesmen and tribeswomen
