There are two new films that are preparing to begin filming and casting directors are holding an open call in Los Angeles for extras for both of the movies. Funnymen Ed Helms and Tracy Morgan are teaming up for the new film “The Clapper”. The Clapper centers on a man who works on infomercials and is selected to appear on a late night talk show. The second movie that is looking for extras is starring Sam Elliot, Katharine Ross, Laura Prepon, Nick Offerman, and Krysten Ritter. The story centers around movie star Lee Hayden (Elliott), who, when diagnosed with cancer, must come to terms with his own mortality. As he evaluates his past, he decides how he wants to move forward with the time he has left.
Both films will be shooting in Los Angeles, California and Jeff Olan Casting is holding auditions for background actors. This is an opportunity to meet with some of the JOC casting directors and some key members of the production teams. Auditions will be held this Saturday, May 14th from 10:30 am to 2:00 pm.

Per directions: The Clapper needs me because I can do it and look homeless or old or crazy or all three and I'll be happy doing it. I'm a freelance writer and victims' advocate who uses extremely minor television and film roles to break out of my solitude. Thanks for consideration. I'm available. ~Teraisa
