For more information check out this FAQ from C.P. Casting:

[1] SHOULD I BRING A PHOTO/HEADSHOT/RESUME TO THE CASTING CALL?
We will take a photo there, but it’s always a good idea to bring a recent photo — and it should go without saying that if you are an actor you should bring your headshot AND resume to any and every casting call/audition.

[2] IS THIS CALL JUST FOR EXTRA WORK?
No, this call is for speaking roles, special bits, AND extra work.

[3] WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT THIS CASTING CALL? SHOULD I PREPARE ANYTHING?
You don’t need to prepare anything. Some people may be given a line or 2 to read.

[4] ARE YOU *ONLY* LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WITH BOSTON ACCENTS?
No, you can attend even if you don’t have a Boston accent.

[5] CAN MY KIDS COME? WHAT IF I’M 17? IS IT REALLY 18+?
It’s REALLY 18+, only adults age 18 years and older as of Sept. 1 should attend.

[6] IS THIS UNION OR NON-UNION?
ALL (18+) are welcome. Current paid up SAG/AFTRA members may come to the front of the line to find out where to go and how to register.

[7] WHEN DOES THIS SHOOT? NIGHTS? WEEKENDS?
The move shoots starting in Sept. until Thanksgiving. Most movies shoot Monday thru Friday during the day when daytime scense are filmed and at night when night scenes are filmed. Sometimes they shoot on a weekend.

Mark Wahlberg looking for "Tough Broads", "Crack Addicts", and Cambodian Men

Mark Wahlberg is coming back to Boston to play Lowell's Mickey Ward in his new movie, The Fighter. Batman's Christian Bale will also be in the upcoming movie playing his younger brother who helped him train to become the world lightweight champion in the 80's. This will be the Dorchester native's third movie shot in Massachusetts, behind The Perfect Storm (2nd highest grossing MA movie of all time) and The Departed.

The movie will actually be shot primarily in Lowell in July. Although we were not able to find the link on Boston Casting's site, the Loaded Gun reports they will be holding an open casting call tomorrow at 129 Braintree St. in Allston from 10am to 4pm. They are specifically looking for:

• Women from 25-40 to play "tough broads"
• Men from ages 25-40 to play "crack addicts"

What we were able to find on Boston Casting's site was an open casting call for this Monday from 11am to 4pm for Cambodian men ages 25-40 who speak fluent Khmer. If you fit any of these profiles, bring your headshot and resume with you to either of these casting calls.
