Hey, Casting Guy!
Or Gal... Looking to cast your film with Hollywood's
Rising Talent? Then, you, my friend, have come to the right place.
That's right, our cupboards are chock full with over 100 Los Angeles
actors! If you haven't
been here in a while, changes are always being made, and you'll be surprised to find lots of new
talented faces on our pages.
Why should you look on this website? Good question... here's the good answer.
IT WILL SAVE YOU
TIME!
"How will it save me time?" you ask. Because the field
has already been weeded for you. We personally "know" about 75% of the actors on
our site. When we say "know" them... we mean we've been in a production with them, studied with them or they're
buds. The rest are there from referrals. We've already selected out good actors for you to cast... ALL of the actors on the site are local to Los Angeles and most have extensive resumes (some of the younger ones are
beginners).
Actors can be easily contacted through the information on their
individual pages. Use the "Pico Search Box" to streamline your casting for specific qualities.
We
Feel So Used!
So just how many production companies out there
have cast their projects from The Actor's Bone? More than you can
shake a big stick at... more than you can
count on all your fingers and toes... more than... well, you get the idea.
Projects that've already taken advantage
of this site include HeyAnita.com,
which called in several Actor's Bone actors (Bonnie
Athene Gillespie booked this voiceover gig). Murder
in Paradise, a feature film suspense crime-thriller booked
six actors from this here site. The
Teddy Bear Syndrome pulled in an actor after finding him
here. And there's Lori
Petro who got free headshots after a professional photographer saw her mug posted
right here.
But wait, there's more...

Sensitive
Johnson Is Wrapped!
Sensitive Johnson has been shot, and all the guns are back in their
holsters. Now it's on to hours and hours in the dark for a little editing.
The shoot was fast and furious, but of course, that was after six months of
careful preparation. Only his characters are wacky, Chris is not.
What actors from this site will you see in this
movie? Oh, just a few... not. Try quite a few... how about Chris
Valenti, Sean
Barnes, Vince
Jolivette, Nori
Jill Phillips, Susan
Han, Richie Magallanes
and Paul
Molinaro? Yup, they're all in there!
Follow the hyperlink below to see the editing
process as it happens. Check streaming video of selected scenes as they
become available. See the trailer, stills from the shoot and the amusing ways that Chris has
raised cash. To learn more than you'd ever want to know about Chris and
his Sensitive Johnson follow the link.
