| (Camden) - They ranged from young, to old,
to somewhere in between. Their emotions, likewise different across
the board. These men were in line for a part in a major film production. “A lot of them have a very strong chance of getting in,” said Casting Director Tona Dahlquist. “I would say 75%, 60-75%." For some, this process is old hat. Said Ron Custer, “I just finished a film with Colin Farrell, Christopher Plummer; ‘The New World,’ which will be out in November." But for others, like Brian Baker, it's his first chance at something he's always wanted to do. And he's willing to skip his day job to make it happen. “You only live once,” said Baker. “You make decisions, and sometimes those decisions make you." As for the woman who would cast him, Tona Dahlquist isn't asking very much. Only that her extras look like they could be from the 1950's. “This movie happens to be in 1957,” said Dahlquist, “so piercings, bleached hair, and certain hair-dos just aren't going to work." It’s a small price to pay ... for your first part in a major film. The men who are cast will be used over two or three days next week. They'll be featured primarily as extras in the film, which is called "Walker." |
