Casting Call for Men for HBO TV Show in NYC
James Franco is now filming his new HBO series “The Deuce” and casting directors are seeking non-union men to be in the show. They are looking for men to portray 1970’s drunks/ homeless/ seedy types. There will be a wardrobe fitting on Thursday, July 7th in Brooklyn and the shoot will be filming on Friday, July 8th. It will be an exterior scene and will film in the afternoon or night.
About the Show
The Deuce follows the story of the legalization and subsequent rise of the porn industry in New York’s Times Square from the early 1970s through the mid-1980s, exploring the rough-and-tumble world that existed there until the rise of HIV, the violence of the cocaine epidemic and the renewed real estate market all ended the bawdy turbulence.
