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!

Is this actress Josie Wilka's origin story?

> Actress Josie Wilka on the set of 'Superman' Cleveland State student takes on her biggest challenge > If someone says, “Guess who just landed a role in Superman ?”, your first thought is some A-lister from a hit streaming show or indie heartthrob. An actor with an agent on both the West Coast and East Coast and a standing reservation at Gwen . For Josie Wilka, though, the journey was a little different — and a lot more inspiring.

Just 10 days before opening night, she was pulled out of math class and thrust into the spotlight as the world’s most famous candy maker, Willy Wonka.

Nate Boyer as the Sheriff, preparing for a scene in 'Sweetest Day' On a cold night in November 2023, I find myself in Warren, Ohio, about an hour east of Cleveland. It’s quiet in the small town, save for a handful of filmmakers carrying equipment and thumbing through scripts as they hurry from their Best Western basecamp to the rustic diner around the corner, The Saratoga . There, fellow crew members are crowding around a booth near the cash register, adjusting lights, checking sound, and peering at monitors to make sure the scene they’re about to film is framed just right. Seated on one side is actor Nate Boyer , dressed as a sheriff. Across from him sits actress Morgana Shaw , easing into her character. When the camera rolls, Shaw’s character lays into the Sheriff, warning him of dire things to come this Sweetest Day , if he doesn’t take things seriously.
