Frisco King, Taylor Sheridan's new spin-off, will shoot in North Texas in May 2026 and is recruiting local extras for multiple scenes with Samuel L. Jackson starring as Russell Lee Washington Jr.
Legacy Casting has posted a string of calls for specific dates and pay: May 15 needs bellhops and valets for a hotel check-in scene and upscale hotel guests with cars, each role paying $110 for 10 hours; May 18 seeks drivers with cars for drive-by scenes at $110 for 10 hours; May 19 wants computer store clerks for a Best Buy–type shoot at $110 for 10 hours; May 20 is a heavy community day, requesting Frisco neighbors with cars ($110 for 10 hours), a real cheer team and a real high school marching band, each paid $200; May 21–22 is casting primarily African American clientele for a jazz club scene at $110 for 10 hours; and a May 26 call is looking for an Instagram model in a bikini with a $750 payday. Applicants are instructed to create an account on mycastingfile.com for more information and to apply.
The production ties directly to Sheridan's existing series: Russell Lee Washington Jr. was introduced as a hitman in Season 3 of Tulsa King, which stars Sylvester Stallone. That connection makes Frisco King not a standalone experiment but an extension of a known universe, and it is why the spin-off has drawn high-profile casting. Frisco's mayor, Jeff Cheney, has described the show as a fish-out-of-water comedy, suggesting the new series will play the character against unfamiliar surroundings rather than simply repeating Tulsa King's tone.
The numbers matter because they show how a major-name production is being staffed at the street level. Many background roles are advertised at $110 for a 10-hour day, a flat rate used repeatedly across the calls, while certain specialty bookings — the Instagram model and the real performance ensembles — command higher pay. Legacy Casting's schedule also makes clear the scale: multiple scenes booked across consecutive days, locations that require cars and community groups, and a mix of paid background and specialized performers that will bring dozens, if not hundreds, of locals onto sets across Frisco.
That mix creates an unavoidable tension. Jackson, a marquee lead playing a character already established on a hit network series, anchors a production that is simultaneously courting everyday residents with modest wages. The listing for May 21–22 explicitly asks for primarily African American clientele for a jazz club scene, showing deliberate demographic casting for an evening set, while pay for many standard extras remains steady at $110 for long days. The higher $750 rate highlights how some single-role bookings are valued far above the workaday background slots that will populate most frames.
For Frisco the upside is immediate: local businesses and homeowners may see direct economic activity as crews move in for hotel, retail and street scenes. For residents who want to be on camera, the timeline is immediate and specific — most calls fall between May 15 and May 26. Anyone interested must register at mycastingfile.com and apply for the particular date and role they want.
Jackson’s involvement ensures attention, but the practical reality of Frisco King this month will be dozens of local extras, drivers and community groups showing up for long days at rates set by the casting company; the production will arrive in May 2026, and those who want a part of it should sign up now through the casting portal.
