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.
