Here’s How You Can Audition for a Role in ‘Good Burger 2’ Right Here in Rhode Island
It's official- Good Burger 2 is being filmed in Rhode Island and my inner '90s child is screaming with joy.
The first thought that came to mind, with the movie set being so close to the SouthCoast, was will they have supporting roles, actors, or even extras for the movie. It turns out I was right and I just might audition for myself.
After all, "Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger, can I take your order?" has been living rent-free in my head since 1997.
Thanks to Boston Casting, a prominent and local agency in Massachusetts, you can now get the chance to work side by side with the legends themselves: Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell in the sequel to Good Burger.
According to a Facebook/Instagram page called What's Going on in Rhode Island, all you have to do is register at BostonCasting.com and when it comes time to film, cross your fingers and hope you get the call. WGOIRI states that filming begins mid-may and local businesses have already been given notices from the production company earlier this week with the following message:
