Acting : Scammer? by Timm Carney

Scammer?

Anyone else ever get this email? I goggled her and got really bad results: The new NBC series "Revolution" is now casting major roles for its first season! This major upcoming series from "Lost" producer J.J. Abrams will be directed by Jon Favreau. Eight roles are being cast on the pilot episode which begins filming in April. To find out more about this casting call, just reply to this email with the word "REVOLUTION" in your subject line. Sincerely, Tracy Lerner TALENT CALL What is the point of this? What are they trying to get fro you?

Scammer. They post all over craigslist as various "casting calls". I'm not sure what they are after besides your email address. Watch out though.

I kind of got that vibe from her email. If you are actually casting something of this caliber wouldn't you contact my agent?

Kathleen Burns

Totally! Also a big hint is if they post "must reply by X afternoon time" but don't really ask for any resume or headshot. A good way to sift through shifty craigslist ads like that is to make sure to google the production company (if they list), make sure they have a detail breakdown, and avoid anything that mentions blindly meeting in areas/buildings with no name to ask for but only a floor number. /my experiences

ALSO: Consider that if there really was something this big being cast, it wouldn't be an open call like that. Most of the time casting directors don't have the time to do blind open calls. They do "invite only" usually or pick and choose through agent submissions.

April Webster casts all of JJ Abrams projects. This is bogus.
