"Star Trek Open Casting Call"

It's a shame I don't live on the West Coast -- Los Angeles to be precise. The 11th Star Trek film begins shooting later this month, and they're holding an open casting call for unique background talent this Saturday. I'd love to play a cadet at Star Fleet Academy... or possibly even a Vulcan! Oh, but for shame. If only I didn't live here in Milwaukee. ... [very sad face]

Acting in a Star Trek film has been on my Wish List for Life for... well, most of my life.

Aww, Crap. ... Crap, crap, crap.

Headquarters Casting, the agency handling extras for the new Star Trek feature, are currently looking to fill the following backgrounds under the code name "Corporate Headquarters." They are now trying to find people with the right look to play Vulcans, Cadets, and presumably other aliens with "unique facial features."

The following casting descriptions can be found on HQC’s website:
Corporate Headquarters
Feature Film: SAG
Info: For the way Cool Sci-Fi Feature Film titled "Corporate Headquarters" we are seeking the following SAG and Non-Union Background Talent:

Currently Seeking:
Thin, regal talent who have BROWN or BLACK hair AND are OK with their eyebrows being shaved from the arch outward to portray a "Vulcan type" eyebrow shape.

In General We Need:
Thin, Athletic, Men and Women, Ages 18-90 - Specific Descriptions Below:
Especially seeking talent with interesting and unique facial features, such as: long necks, small heads, extremely large heads, wide-set eyes, bug eyes, close-set eyes, large forehead, short upper lip, pronounced cheekbones, over- or undersized ears and/or nose, facial deformities, ultra plain-looking people, ultra perfect-looking people, pure wholesome looks, twins, triplets, emaciated talent, in addition to regally poised and postured talent.

Or, as would be more appropriate to me:
Seeking the following types, ages 18-70, any ethnicity:
Cadets: young, fresh-faced
Military types: marching experience preferred

Talent with interesting and unique facial features such as: long necks, small heads, extremely large heads, wide-set eyes, bug eyes, close-set eyes, large forehead, short upper lip, pronounced cheekbones, over- or undersized ears and/or nose, facial deformities, ultra plain-looking people, ultra perfect-looking people, pure wholesome looks, twins, triplets, emaciated talent, regally poised and postured talent, or other visually unique characteristics

Everyone must be thin, athletic, fit; wardrobe will be form-fitting. All hair lengths on males and females welcome.

Yep. Crap, crap, crap.
