'Homeland' casting in Charlotte

Published 12:00 am Friday, August 19, 2011

Be a TV star — well, maybe not the star, but if you are a 5-foot-11 to 6-foot tall Caucasian male with salt and pepper hair and beard, you could be the photo double for one of the male leads in Showtime’s new TV series “Homeland” that is filming in the Charlotte region.
The show also is casting for both adult men and women of all ethnic backgrounds.
There is an immediate need for Latino adults, especially those grandparent-aged, as well as children ages 6 and up.
“Homeland” also needs:
• Asians of all ages;
• Men of Middle Eastern or Indian decent;
• Females who look like housewives and socialites;
• Business professionals of all sorts; techies; and military and government “types”;
• Latinos of all ages
All extras will be paid.
To apply, send a current snapshot, your name, age, phone number, city and state, height, weight and clothing sizes to homelandextras@gmail.com.
Information on film activities throughout the region are on the Charlotte Regional Film Commission website, http://charlotteusa.com/target-sectors/film/.
