Taraji P. Henson is starring in a new movie and you could be in it! “Best of Enemies” is now filming in Atlanta, GA. A new extras casting call for the film is looking for men and women. Casting directors are looking for people ages 20’s – 60’s, an African American choir and people who own classic cars. Filming will be between May 26th and June 29th depending on the role. Some talent will work more than one day. This is a paid acting job. If you have always wanted to work on a movie, this is a great opportunity for you. Henson, who stars in the hit Fox TV show Empire (and won the Golden Globe award for her role), has also been nominated for an Oscar.
About the Movie
The film is based on the incredible true story of Ann Atwater and C.P. Ellis. Henson will play Atwater, the ferocious civil rights activist in Durham, North Carolina. She had a decade-long battle with sworn enemy C.P. Ellis, the Exalted Cyclops of Durham’s Ku Klux Klan. Their feud came to an abrupt and unlikely end in 1971. After a court-ordered school desegregation decree threw the Southern city into turmoil, Atwater and Ellis reluctantly agreed to co-chair an intensive, two week community meeting to try to reach a compromise. The extraordinary events that followed changed Durham, and the lives of Atwater and Ellis forever. [Deadline]
