For casting calls: Never go alone. Never agree to pay anyone anything for auditions or jobs. You should not be asked to pay to audition for an acting or extra job...EVER! The production company or individual is to pay you for your work. If anything ever seems questionable ask questions before signing up to do the work.

The MFO will only post unpaid Extras casting calls when the approved production has included NO Extras expense line in their Michigan budget. Please contact our office if you have any questions.

 

DreamWorks Announces Open Call for Jackman-led 'Real Steel'

DreamWorks Studios is holding an open audition call for a young male actor for a lead role in upcoming film ‘Real Steel,' starring Hugh Jackman. The role to be filled is Max, a "street-smart, tough, charming kid with a hard, untrusting outer shell which hides a warm enthusiastic spirit...a complicated, strong-willed and resourceful boy." DreamWorks is looking for a 10-14 year old male actor for the part.

In the action film, Jackman plays an ex-fighter who becomes a promoter when human boxing is outlawed for being too violent. In their place are 2000-pound fighting robots with human qualities. Unable to adequately compete in Robot Boxing, the character instead focuses on a discarded robot that always seems to win. Meanwhile, he also learns that he is the father of a 13-year old son, and they bond as the robot fights its way toward the top (this is Hollywood, of course).
