We have a general mailing list but it is for auditions / castings all over. Unfortunately this is not a membership site with fees so I do not have the resources (employees) to send any customized alerts. I know sites that charge monthly fees have those types of services, there are quite a few of them.
I would love to be apart of this casting, please feel free to email me I’m very driven dedicated and hard working looking to further my acting career.
My name is Julius Brooks. I’ve been an extra in New Mexico. I would really love to to be an extra in The Magnificent Seven. How do I go about signing up with your casting company and when is the next extras call. If some one could get back in touch with me, I really would appreciate it.
Thanks for your time and get back in touch with me if you can.
My 3 ½ year old daughter & I are both interested in being an extras in the Magnificent Seven. I am a 35 years old, African American female and we live in Baker, Louisiana which is near the Zachary, St. Francisville and Baton Rouge area. My daughter is well mannered, feisty, super energetic, extremely smart, takes the initiative, and enjoy smiling, laughing, singing and dancing. I have pictures of her riding a pony/horse with her cowgirl hat & boots that I can email you. Please give anyone of us or both the opportunity to act and be a part of this new project. I hope to hear from you soon via email.
