A major television production company is conducting a nationwide search for an outgoing family-run locksmith business for a new reality TV show. The show would be similar to The Learning Channel’s (TLC) American Chopper series of a family-run custom motorcycle business.
According to the casting call posted on RealityWanted.com applicants must have at least 2 family members aged 25 – 45 working at the business full-time and who are not afraid to be themselves.
The ad states “We look forward to hearing your craziest stories, from naked people locked out of their houses to cracking safes when people forget their combination. Surprise us.”
To find out more about the casting call, go to www.realitywanted.com. You can register for free as a fan or a “star,” to read what scant additional information there is. However, to apply and find out who the casting director is, you must subscribe and pay a $3.99 a month fee (can cancel at any time) AND post personal information (height, weight, gender, education and upload at least one photo). Once you apply for the casting call, other website members can read your profile and vote for whichever applicant they think is best for the position.
I stopped just short of posting personal information trying to find out more details like which company had posted the ad. (No, I was not applying!) The RealityWanted.com website states that “they cannot answer questions about the casting process for particular shows posted since they are posted by casting companies not by RealityWanted.com.” They suggest contacting the casting director who posted the notice.
Deadline to apply is July 24, 2009. Excuse me while I go cancel my subscription.
