VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Because there have been many instances where male BG performers have shown up completely clean shaven after shaving off a moustache or beard, having been told by their agent(s) that they needed to be completely clean shaven to come to this set, directors would like to make the notes above clearer by using bold text to the words ‘MAY’ & ‘IF’. Directors also have it stated that the men with facial hair need to be willing to alter it if it is too contemporary and so many of them refuse for thgem to change it or trim it or cut it which puts us in a position of having to hide them In the back or make them always be shot from the back.
