Ready to Meet ‘Captain America’? Cleveland Extras Casting Call Announced for Marvel Film


How about this for my 'Captain America' audition?
So what do you think? Should I use this photo as my headshot when I apply to be an extra in Marvel’s Captain America: Winter Soldier, filming this spring in and around Cleveland, Ohio?

Maybe. Maybe not. But maybe.

You can apply to be an extra, too. Marvel recently announced the casting call, which will take place April 19 and 20, 2013, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Tri-C’s Metro Campus, Building UTC, Room 229. You can find that at 2415 Woodland Ave., Cleveland.

Here’s what you need to know if you go. You have to be 18 years old or older.

Minors should not come to the casting call, but if your son or daughter wants to try out – and they’re 9 years old or older – you can bring a current, casual snapshot to include.

Dress in business attire. And come well-groomed. (Sounds like another fancy party, maybe? Like the one Marvel shot for The Avengers downtown?)

Bring a pen to fill out the application. Don’t show up early.

And that’s it! Follow those rules and you’re this much closer to landing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
