Be a film star for a day

1. Film extras needed

 

My name is Glenn "Jeep" Holthaus and I've been living here in Thailand for more than 33 years. In addition to my charity work and a myriad of other endeavors, I have been involved in 16 of the major Hollywood motion pictures shot in Thailand, and have been asked to be the casting director for a shoot to be done in Sattahip at the Naval Base on October 18 and 19, on board an aircraft carrier.

 

I am looking for farang males white and black, age 17-36 years old (or look like they are that young!) This is a major Hollywood motion picture. The accepted applicants will receive 1500 baht per day (1350 after tax which is quite good for Thailand extras), transportation to and from Bangkok and Pattaya to Sattahip Naval Base, and food. Most candidates will only work for one day that is the 18th of October. The day will be a long one though. The buses will leave Bangkok at around 0400 and won't be back in Bangkok until around 2300.

 

The buses in Pattaya will leave at around 0600 and will return at around 2000. I will need 60 extras for the 18th, and only about 15 for the 19th of October. Can you please put the word about this opportunity for your members to participate as extras in this major motion picture? The main star is Christian Bale (the new Batman) with Steve Zahn also starring.

 

The director is Werner Herzog. The name of the movie will be "Rescue Dawn". It is a true story of a pilot shot down over Laos, captured, and makes a miraculous escape through Laos to be rescued on the Thai border. As you probably know, it is not easy to find young males to use in movies shot in Thailand. Old guys like me are a dime a dozen though! So if any members are in the age group or know someone who is and will be in Pattaya on those days, please have them contact me.

 

The only day I will be available for auditions in Pattaya is the afternoons of Saturday 8th, and Sunday the 9th of October, between the hours of 1200-1800 at "The Bowling Green" on Soi FuengFa (which most of us know as Soi Xzite Disco) between 3rd road and Soi Buakaow.

 

I can be contacted at glenp@loxinfo.co.th or mobile phone: 01 259 0106.

 

Thanks for the help.
