If you've got a hidden talent — or happen to be a welder, athlete or drummer — this might be your moment to shine on screen and get paid.

Groundglass Casting is currently casting people of all ages and backgrounds for a new Toronto-based charity commercial, and the pay is seriously impressive.

You could earn between $1,050 and $1,300 for just one day of filming.

The Toronto casting call is wide open to people aged 6 to 60, with no acting experience required. What they are looking for is a mix of energy, passion and comfort in front of a camera.

Here's the breakdown of roles:

This casting call is for a Food Banks Canada PSA. It is a non-union shoot, and filming will take place in Toronto on August 13 or 14, with only one day required for your participation.

If selected, there's a short wardrobe appointment scheduled for August 12, which pays an additional $50. If your image is used in any still photos from the shoot, that's another $250 in your pocket.

The only requirements are that you must be legally eligible to work in Canada and comfortable being filmed and interviewed.

The deadline to apply is approaching quickly, and shortlisted candidates will be contacted by July 29.

So if you, your kid, or someone you know fits the bill, don't miss out. This is your chance to support a great cause and earn a little extra cash while you're at it.
