A casting call for 'very hairy' people with 'character faces' could potentially be the weirdest job advert ever.
The production company behind the new Lord of the Rings TV Series have put out the bizarre call for actors to play orcs.
The series is based on JRR Tolkein’s fantasy novels which have spotted two wilding successful film franchises that have gone on to enjoy massive acclaim.
Production on the show will begin next year and will be coming to Amazon Prime Video, Edinburgh Live reports
The eye catching casting call is seeking anyone who fits the bill with "an overbite, face burns, long skinny limbs, deep cheekbones, lines on your face, acne scars, ears that stick out, bulbous or interesting noses, small eyes, big eyes, skinny faces or missing bones".
The call-out is also looking for:
- Short people under 5ft and tall people over 6ft 5
- Character faces with lots of wrinkles
- Androgynous men and women
- 'Hairy, hairy' people of all ages and ethnicities
- Tall, long and lithe dancers
- Circus performers who can juggle and stilt walk
- Stocky mean-looking bikers
- Eurasian people of all ages, and
- Red heads of all ages, shapes and sizes.
The filming for the TV series is taking place in New Zealand, so although travel to New Zealand is pretty unlikely due to the coronavirus, but as recruitment is ongoing things may change in the future as restrictions are eased.
