Title: Casting Call for Freaks Post by: dystopia on November 09, 2007, 12:14:44 PM Got a long neck, bug eyes? Hollywood's calling http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071109/od_uk_nm/oukoe_uk_startrek;_ylt=AoTcTtkIzEIaf_IlyYVvOaHtiBIF Quote NEW YORK (Reuters) - If you've been teased all your life for having a long neck, large head, bug eyes, or other unusual facial features, step forward. Hollywood is calling. Paramount Pictures is holding an open casting call in Burbank, California, this Saturday to find background actors for the new "Star Trek" film and is seeking people with interesting and unique facial features. The casting call lists features such as "long necks, small heads, extremely large heads, wide-set eyes, bug eyes, close-set eyes, large forehead, short upper lip, pronounced cheekbones, over- or under-sized ears and/or nose, facial deformities". But it's not just odd-looking people they want. "Ultra plain-looking people, ultra perfect-looking people, pure wholesome looks, twins, triplets, emaciated talent, regally poised and postured talent, or other visually unique characteristics," are also on the list. The studio also is looking for thin, military types aged between 18 and 70 to portray Starfleet Academy cadets with marching experience who would not object to having their eyebrows shaved into a Vulcan-type shape.
