Do you look like an orc? Lord of the Rings TV show desperately needs actors to play the monsters and wants people with missing teeth, wrinkles and body hair to apply 

Casting agents for the upcoming Lord of the Rings TV show are in desperate need of extras to play orcs and want toothless, heavily-wrinkled and hairy people to apply. 

Two Auckland casting companies have issued appeals to fill roles for the grotesque monsters on the new Amazon Lord of the Rings series, which begins filming in 2020. 

One of the agencies turned to Facebook, where they asked for suitable applicants under 5ft or over 6ft 5ins with ‘wonderful noses’ and ‘character faces’. 

The other, was more specific in their request, asking for lots of wrinkles and ‘hairy hairy people of all ages and ethnicities’.

‘HAIR HAIR HAIR — if you have natural red hair, white hair, or lots and lots of freckles,’ the agency added.

The advert also welcomed ‘Long Lithe dancers’, ‘stocky mean-looking bikers’, and ‘redheads all ages , shapes and sizes’, to apply.

PMSL.

I saw on TV a year or so ago a reference to a website called “the face” where aspiring actors can post face or full body images of themselves to hope to catch the eye of casting studios.

I happened to notice that people were made up to look their best for the photographs, which I found amusing because casting studios would be looking on such a website for people for abnormal and ugly looking faces.

I wonder. A nephew of mine might just fit the type.
