Question regarding non recurrent actors on TV series

Post by DC Fan »

Hi,

This is a question that I´ve been thinking for a while now.

On today TV Series, when casting that doesn´t mean that all actors (aside from the main ones) will always be there. And that´s good in order to tell interesting stories. So, what happens when an actor is cast but he/she is not going to appear all the time. When that actor´s role ends for a time and has to appear eventually. How can they make sure he/she will return?

I mean, anyone will say that for the actor it doesn´t matter. On the contrary, whenever he/she gets called that means a pay check. However, obviously that person has to work some place else meanwhile. So, what happens if the series needs him/her and that person is busy away or doing something else?

Because I´m a amazed they can have the same actor appear when needed. How that works?
