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! ![]() ...wish me luck. I'm definitely going to need it.

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!
