Extra Call for "The Chief"

(E-mail forwarded from Fourth River Casting)

The Chief, a one-man show about Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney starring favorite Tom Atkins, is being retired after several hit seasons of presentation at the Pittsburgh Public Theater.

A live performance of The Chief is being taped on November 12th at Shadyside Academy, and we're looking for audience members interested in being part of this historic event. Audiences will see a full production of the show and be provided with refreshments. Participants will be required to wear clothing appropriate for a night at the theater, be available to stay through the estimated 5 hours of taping, and will act as extras, filling various areas of the theater and recreating reaction shots.

THERE IS NO CHARGE. This may be one the last opportunities to see this tour de force, but all audience members must be confirmed to attend. Spaces are limited, and will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Participants will not receive financial compensation, but will have the chance to see the production free of charge, and additionally will receive small refreshments (not a full meal) and a copy of the DVD when released. The shooting will take approximately 5 hours, beginning in late afternoon.

If interested in being a part of this historic taping, please send an e-mail to fourthrivercasting@yahoo.com for more information.

Now Filming: Warrior

The big shoot in Pittsburgh in April, May and June has been Warrior, a Lionsgate movie about fathers, sons and mixed-martial arts.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette had a great article on the movie a few weeks back.

Nolte has now made three movies here in Pittsburgh - Warrior, Mysteries of Pittsburgh and Lorenzo's Oil. He likes the area, and has said that, when he's done with Warrior, he will have spent an entire year in Pennsylvania over the last 18 years making movies.

This movie also features one of the most visible young actresses in Hollywood - Jennifer Morrison, who plays Nolte's daughter-in-law. She's appeared in House for the last five years, and made a brief but memorable appearance as James T. Kirk's mother at the beginning of the recent Star Trek remake.

They're still looking for extras for the audience of the mixed martial arts competitions, particularly for Saturday, May 30.
