Third times a charm for FOX’s ‘Shot Fired’ Extras Casting

It’s been musical casting for FOX’s Shots Fired, starring Helen Hunt, Richard Dreyfuss, and Stephen Moyer, is filming in Charlotte, NC. It started with Extras Casting Director Tona Dalquist. She decided to pass on the project a few weeks in. Then NCasting took over for another two weeks. And now it looks like Vanessa is stepping down as well. She will be helping the new Extras Casting Directors make a smooth transition and  Vanessa’s casting assistant Keema Mingo will remain on the show.

Marinella Hume Casting will be taking over from here. They are out of Atlanta, so If you worked on Sleepy Hollow after they moved to Georgia, you probably know who they are. Go to web site now: http://marinellahumecasting.com/

Check on NCasting’s Facebook page for an upcoming open call for background actors in the Charlotte area soon.

BREAKING: Walton Goggins will replace Joe Manganiello

This just in. Variety has reported that Walton Goggins will replace Joe as Rip Taggart in our History Channel show SIX. (SOURCE)

The response from the Wilmington film family is all positive. Quite a few worked on Vice Principals and I am hearing that he was hilarious, a pleasure to be around, and I heard a whole bunch of “Oh man I love that guy!”

Welcome to the team Walton! More importantly welcome to Wilmywood!

Reporters sniffing around regarding SIX’s Joe Manganiello’ health.

So it’s come to my attention that quite a few extras are being contacted by a gentleman who claims to be Steve Wilks.

According to IMDb he has been a production assistant on Entertainment Tonight until 2013. Other than that I’ve never heard of the guy.  He is trying to get information about Joe Manganiello. About his health.

Some background extras said he is using IMDb to find out which extras were on set while they were filming episodes one and two.

We all love Joe very much as he was here on One Tree Hill and I know most of you will do the right thing and tell them you signed a nondisclosure and you know nothing.

Also remember just because you hear something on set doesn’t mean it’s true.

Those of you who are new and those of you who are thinking about talking, please give Joe his privacy. If he wanted any information revealed about himself and his health he would come out and say it himself.

I’ve also heard there’s been another reporter from L.A. trying to reach out as well.

Just remember these two words: no comment.

Six will recast Rip Taggart played by Joe Manganiello 

image

Variety is reporting that our One Tree Hill Alum Joe Manganiello will be recast due to a health issues. He was cast as Six Team member Rip Taggart.

It’s a pre-existing condition and is manageable, however with the vigorous amounts of physical activity required on our History Channel show, Six, he will not be able to continue. We wish him the best and we were glad to have him back in Wilmington for the short time he was here.

Production should resume in May if they find a new actor is to replace Manganiello.
