Shot’s Fired is the new event series that will air on Fox. Casting directors are looking for extras to play bar patrons, neighbors, off duty cops, a bartender and extras with cars in Charlotte, North Carolina. Fox says “The series examines the dangerous aftermath of racially charged shootings in a small town in North Carolina. Sanaa Lathan is ASHE BELL, an expert investigator who digs into the cases. Stephan James is PRESTON TERRY, a special prosecutor sent to the town by the Department of Justice. The pair must navigate the media attention, public debate and the social unrest that comes with such volatile cases, as they seek justice before the divided town erupts.
Academy, Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actress Helen Hunt will portray PATRICIA EAMONS, the politically fierce, fictional governor of North Carolina who prides herself on not being a typical politician. As the first female and Democrat governor in the state, she is in a tough re-election fight, and the national media attention on the recent shootings in her state is making it tougher. Academy- and Golden Globe Award-winning actor Richard Dreyfuss will play ARLEN COX, a real estate mogul and owner of a privatized prison who is intricately involved in the shootings. Stephen Moyer will play OFFICER BREELAND, a seasoned veteran in the town’s Sheriff’s Department, who gets caught in the middle of the investigation.”
