Leaked casting call for ‘The Walking Dead‘ Season 6 is looking for a psychologist. [spoiler alert ahead!]

It looks as though ‘The Walking Dead’ Season 6 is going to add a psychologist. According to a casting call reported on Wetpaint, ‘The Walking Dead’ is looking for someone to fill the role of Allison, a psychologist.

Allison, as the casting call points out, is on her late 20s to early 40s. She is described as a “smart, artful, and charming psychologist who quickly turns awkward and messy when it comes to her personal life. She’d much rather stay safely inside her comfort zone, but the true test of her mettle comes when the comfort’s gone and the stakes are life and death. She’s not cynical and really cares about people.”

The actor chosen one for the role on ‘The Walking Dead’ will be a recurring guest who will appear in multiple episodes of the series. Allison will debut in episode 2 of “The Walking Dead” season 6 and will also put in an appearance in episode 5. But just what business will she have in Rick’s walker-overrun world?

Check out the full ‘Walking Dead’ casting call below:

It is rumored that Allison will serve as the live-action version of a character from the Robert Kirkman comic books named Dr. Denise Cloyd.

In other Walking Dead casting news, TVLine also announced the the arrival of another new character call Delvin — another potential name cover — a “twentysomething African-American cynic [who] is left so dumbfounded by displays of stupidity that it’s nearly impossible for him to admit that he thinks, down deep, people are — or at least can be — decent. Even if they’re idiots.”

Craft services, better known as crafty, is truly the hub of the film set. It’s where producers hob-knob with the talent, where extras flock when not featured on screen, and where everyone can come together for a nice bagel and coffee in the morning. A good craft services table is certain to keep a crew happy.

Remember that, like all free food, just because it’s free doesn't mean it has to be eaten. It isn't a competition, though there definitely are winners and losers. At any one time, craft services will usually have an assortment of healthy food like vegetables and crackers as well as some junk food like Doritos and candy. Some of those selections tend to be stripped away quickly and it’s not hard to guess which ones.

Here are a few friendly Craft Service Tips to consider!

Crafty Tip #1: Plan routes around the craft services table If you aren't already doing this, I’m sorry but “you’re amateur” as Christian Bale would say. Going to the bathroom, getting something from the truck/van, or going to speak to someone are all great excuses to make a trip near craft services. When possible, plan the route to wherever you’re going to loop near the craft services table. For bonus points and double dipping, make this happen on both ends of the round trip. Of course, if where you’re going is extremely time sensitive, this is a risky bet, but if you've scoped out the layout of the table beforehand, you might be able to swoop by and snag a goody.

Crafty Tip #2: Always get there before the gripsGrips, by their nature, tend to be big, burly fellows (I do, however, want to appropriately give shout-outs to women grips who also do an excellent job). I think this comes about from the tasks the job demands — hauling heavy gear, lifting, rigging, etc. I could never be a grip because I’ve tried lugging those carts of sandbags around with disastrous results. So, more respect to the men and women who are able to move dirt better than I.

Because their job is so physical and because the positions are often filled by bigger lads, they tend to ransack the crafty table like Vikings storming a Medevil village. It also doesn't help that the grip department is often one of the largest on a set and they band together. Don’t get caught behind them or there might not be much left. There is a way around this, however, and that is to…

Crafty Tip #3: Keep a stash At first keeping a stash sounds suspicious and I’ll admit, it is a bit like keeping candy bars in a trunk at fat camp but this is one of the smartest things that can be done on a set. 

Now I don’t recommend transplanting all of the food craft services offers into your kit bag, just a few things here and there for the times when hunger is slowing down the pace of the job. Cereal bars, candy bars, and bags of chips are the best to keep around. They’re mobile, self-contained, and can be eaten quickly. But the stash is also something that can keep you popular among your department, meaning…

Crafty Tip #4: If your boss likes it, definitely keep a stash Sometimes people joke that the way to a woman’s heart is through her belly. The idea is to send her chocolates or take her to a spectacularly delicious dinner. Well, the concept works the same on a film set with the heads of the departments. In the case of camera, that’s the director of photography (DP), but this works for almost any department head. If you whip out their favorite food in a time of extreme need (i.e. stress or the 16th hour), the department head will suddenly don rose colored glasses on your work.

The key is early on in the shoot to make a trip to crafty and ask them if they would like anything to eat or drink. Keep doing this until they reveal something that they particularly are fond of. Bonus tip here, if they say they aren't sure what they want, always bring back options. It’s better than choosing for them unsuccessfully. I digress, however, and the point is that if they like something that crafty is keeping in stock, have it in stock for yourself too. 

Crafty Tip #5: Become friends with whoever is in charge of craft services. On low budget shoots, crafty is usually more low key and run by a production assistant who has never done it before. This makes it easier to get an “in” with them. On bigger budget shoots, the person is likely more experienced, busier and more likely to pick up on the nuanced approaches to get privileged access to the food table. If possible, however, make this friendship on set count. And when I mean become friends with craft services, I don’t mean friendly, I mean develop a relationship with them. This is good for two reasons: one, it’s simply nice to make friends and whatnot but also, two, you’ll get the hook up.

“The hook up” can include advance notification of food or it can let you place requests for certain foods on set. Now most sets will already let you place requests, but they don’t always come to fruition unless it’s an issue of health or allergies. This way, with a newly developed friendship, the foods that are wanted by your department head or yourself come to crafty and subsequently your kit bag. At this point, you can either be a selfish hoarder or do the more altruistic thing and…

Crafty Tip #6: Offer food to other members of the crew. Much like offering food to a boss will score high marks, offering food to the rest of the crew will ratchet yourself up a few notches on the respect ladder. Plus, it’s just plain kind. This doesn't have to be food from a stash, but if you are making your way to crafty, offer up to bring stuff back for anyone. It’s polite and will get you in good graces with the rest of the crew. This kind of team building can get a little out of hand though with everyone offering everyone else food when they go to crafty, which is why this last and final tip is so crucially important:

Crafty Tip #7: Beware of the “food coma,” - the sinking feeling of tiredness and fullness that bestows itself upon the most gluttonous of us all. It is simultaneously satisfying and crushing and on a set, it can be stifling. It messes with efficiency, attitude and energy. Beware of this killer of energy and the way it is brought on: by eating too much. Craft services is a wonderful thing on sets because it is free food, but it can be abused. Don’t forget that in addition to sour skittles, muffins and carrot sticks, the production will usually serve a meal too. Food comas can strike swiftly with veritable force, so be cautious when moving onto bagel number three.

––

Craft services is a godsend for hungry crew members and it’s fruits of giving are often bountiful and delicious. Remember that being talented at scoping out the craft services table is a skill that can take many productions to acquire. At first, you may find yourself lost in the choices, but eventually, after much practice, you can become an expert in the gastronomical art of crafty.

CATERING & CRAFT SERVICES BEST PRACTICES
Hire caterers who work with local farmers and use organic ingredients. When possible, encourage all food service departments to set up composting stations. Consider looking for local farms that will remove compost materials from your location.

FOOD

• Hire caterers who offer local and USDA organic produce, humanely raised meat and dairy, and vegan/vegetarian options.
• Look for the Fair Trade Certified™ label before purchasing imported food products like tea, coffee and chocolate.
• Purchase condiments in bulk.
• Look for the following labels when purchasing beef, poultry or eggs:
• The American Grass-fed Association
• Animal Welfare Approved
• Certified Humane Raised and Handled
• Demeter Certified Biodynamic
• Food Alliance
• USDA Organic
• Avoid the following and any other endangered fish species:

• Chilean sea bass
• shark
• bluefin tuna
• orange roughy
• Visit montereybayaquarium.org for fish details by species.
• Offer snacks that can be enjoyed without dishes.
• Avoid individually wrapped snacks, or support companies that have switched to biodegradable packaging.
• Obtain as accurate a head count as possible before ordering food.
• If grilling outdoors, use propane or natural gas.
• Turn off and unplug all kitchen appliances when not in use.

Never use Styrofoam!

DISHES & CUTLERY

• Use reusable plates, cups, utensils and linens instead of disposable dishware and napkins.
• If disposable dishes and cutlery are essential, use biodegradable versions.
• Distribute reusable water bottles and coffee mugs.
• Look for paper products with a high percentage of post-consumer recycled content.

DISPOSAL

• Set up recycling and compost next to all trash bins with clear signage directing where to put materials.
• Use cleaning supplies made from natural ingredients.
• Use trash bags and liners made with recycled or biodegradable materials.
• Ask the catering company to bring containers for recycling and compost waste generated onsite.
• Donate fresh leftovers to a local church or charity. Locate a non-profit that is able to pick up safely handled food, assess its quality and distribute it locally.

Set up sustainable waste stations wherever heavy waste will occur – when there’s a bin for trash, recycling, and composting at every location, far more waste can be diverted from landfill.
