For a cool $120, aspiring actors were offered the chance to pretend to be supporters of Pennsylvania state Rep. Kevin Boyle (D) on primary day, according to a job listing obtained by Gawker.
An email seeking male or female extras of any ethnicity to spend Tuesday at polling stations around Philadelphia said actors would be provided with “a script and information,” with lunch and an open bar provided after the 13-hour work day, according to the report.
It wasn’t clear if the casting call came from Boyle’s campaign, or whether the jobs had been filled.
The Mike Lemon Casting Agency confirmed the email’s authenticity to Gawker but didn’t provide further comment.
The Boyle campaign did not immediately return multiple requests for comment from TPM on Tuesday afternoon.
Boyle is running for state Senate after representing northeast Philadelphia in the state House for three terms.
In the early days of Republican frontrunner Donald Trump’s presidential bid, the billionaire filled out the room where he held his campaign launch by offering actors $50 for less than three hours of work wearing Trump T-shirts and carrying faux-homemade signs.
