Jennifer Feraday is the owner of Background, Inc. She is a native of Canada and has lived in New York City since 1987. Jennifer has many years of experience in the commercial industry as an actress and member of the Screen Actors Guild.

Background, Inc. opened its doors in 2000 and has become the busiest commercial extras casting company on the East Coast. We cast SAG, AFTRA and non-union projects, large and small. Specializing mainly in commercials, we also cast industrials, music videos, print and promos. We take pride in being fast and being very detailed and it doesn’t matter if the job is very large or very small, every project receives the same excellent service. If you need stand-ins, little people, mimes, clowns, drag queens, sports teams, or other specialty talent, we have you covered. We have cast hundreds of extras dancing over the Brooklyn Bridge at 5:00 a.m. to celebrity stand-ins. Background, Inc. is also proud to be a certified Woman Owned Business.
The staff at Background, Inc. are aware that production needs do not always happen during regular office hours, so there is always someone available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for all of your talent needs.

Give us a call us for your next project!
