Calling all Pirates...

My college roommate (we will call her "C") is currently working on the movies PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN II & III. She sent the following casting call to me earlier today with the comment, "If anyone has any peg-leg-ed friends with wandering eyes be sure to let them know..."

Casting for Pirates Of The Caribbean
Pirates Of The Caribbean III will begin production August 2005 and shoot thru the middle of next year.
We are holding an open casting call for extras on
Saturday, July 30th 2005.
11:00am to 3:00pm
The Ricardo Montalban Theatre
formerly The Doolittle Theater
1615 North Vine Street
Los Angeles, Ca 90028
Please call (818) 725-2905 for daily updates or keep checking this website.
A map to the location will be posted soon

We are currently ONLY looking for the following types.

Pirates:
Extreme characters and hideously unattractive types, ages 18-50. Odd body shapes or very lean to extremely skinny. Missing teeth, wandering eyes and serial killer looks with real long hair & beards. Wigs & makeup are not what we're looking for. We also need little people, very large sumo wrestler types, extremely tall or extremely short people, albinos, amputees. Any size or shape that is NOT average is best. All ethnicities. Mostly men, very few women.

Asian Men & Women:
We need tons of Asian people of all ages and types to play Townspeople, Shopkeepers, Prostitutes, Pirates etc. All shapes, sizes and ages over 18.


If you are not one of these specific types
please do not attend the open call.
We are not seeking anyone that does not fit the above specifications. This means if you are not Asian or are not an extreme character type, you will not be seen at the open call. You can mail in a submission or drop off a photo at our office.

If you attended our first open casting call in December 2004, you need not attend. We are still working with those submissions. Please only attend if you have changed your look or your phone numbers and fit the specifications.

Extreme character type, eh? I don't think that I am quite short enough, even at 5'0". I'm also not male or Asian. Dammit!

I know! I love that you have to be an extreme kind of ugly to play the part. I sort of wish that I could have gone to the casting call - just to people watch. What an interesting group they must be. Not only are they ugly, but they KNOW that they are ugly and are okay with being so. Plus, they've figured out a way to profit from being ugly, which is really a way of embracing it, if you think about it.

Snaps to them!

Ehhh so if you show up then you are admiting you are ugly and weird. Not sure if I'm ready for that but I'm neither male nor Asian. Do they have any parts for tall blonde WASPy gals?
