Get ready, Upstate New York—your moment in a Hallmark movie could be just a casting call away.

Hallmark‘s newest film, “Like Nobody’s Business," starring Rachael Leigh Cook, will be shooting in Albany and Schenectady, bringing a bit of Hollywood magic to the Capital Region.

Cook is known for her iconic roles in the ‘90s classic “She‘s All That,” “Josie and the Pussycats,” “Dawson’s Creek,” and more.

Filming runs from Monday, Nov. 4, through Friday, Nov. 15, offering locals a rare chance to get in on the action as background stars.

HBG Casting LLC is calling for background talent to join the project, seeking adult to help bring the film’s small-town scenes to life. According to WGNA, there may be roles for people playing waiters and/or college professors.

Think you have what it takes to make a cameo in a Hallmark hit? Here’s what producers are looking for:

This fall the Capital Region has also been host to filming HBO’s “Gilded Age,” now in its third season. The series films in places like Albany and Troy to take advantage of the community’s rich late 19th-century architecture as a stand-in for New York City.

The region has also been the background for TV series, “Pretty Little Liars.”
