I am Blake, and was called by the “Dear John” cast call staff for a role. However I was out of town and so was given a number to call for an interview. i lost the number. Can someone help me to contact the casting crew?
I am interested in being an extra in your movie. I am a Afro- American male, 6ft 1in, army veteran, and 33 years of age. I was told that you are looking for specific vehicles, I own a 1997 GMC Suburban. I presently live near, and work at one of the areas slotted to be use in Harleyville S.C. I look forward to hearing from you if you can use me in any way.
