After work today I'm going to go audition for a part the new Spielberg/Clint Eastwood movie, "Flag of our Fathers".

I think that's the title anyway...it's about the Iwo Jima battle (and that famous statue).

It's an open casting call, no acting experience needed...probably just some extras in a battle scene. I need to be a young male with short hair and a clean shave. That's it!

They will pay those selected though...so I could be in a main shot! :excited:

...wish me luck. I'm definitely going to need it. :whistle:

89th, I'm in "Glory." IIRC, at the time, we got paid $55 per day. Also got to play frisbee with Matthew Broderick and Cary Elwes, and take direction from Ed Zwick.

I was also filmed by Academy Award-nominated cinematographer Vilmos Szigmond, but that was another gig.

Good luck!

Update:

Well I went tonight, and stood in line for about an hour in the blistering sun, with about a couple hundred people (I'm sure about 5,000 people showed up over the 4pm-9pm open call time span.

So after I slowly walked around the block in the line and finally inside...it went upstairs where about 6 tables were there with one official person behind each table. I handed them my application and photo, and sat down. Had generic chit chat for about literally 10 seconds, and then they asked if I could shoot on Aug 8th, and would I be willing to cut my hair...to both of which I said yes, definitely.

That was it!

Everyone there sat down for about 20 seconds, so that the interviewer could get a feel for the applicant and later they will compare "scores" with the needs of the production office, and will contact anyone selected.

More or less, I should be exactly what they are looking for and don't see a reason why they wouldn't call me back. But who knows!

...I'm not really worried about it, just think it would be a fun time! :)
