The Hobbit open casting commences
Are you absolutely in love with the Lord of the Rings trilogy and would love to be latched onto the Guillermo Del Toro directed feature The Hobbit in some way other than commenting on some article? Well here’s your chance as they open up the flood gates for anybody to apply to be casted into the two part movie.
What do you have to do? Well it’s quite a simple amount of guidelines that Collider is able to map out below.:
– You must apply by physical mail.
– You need to include a casting video, headshot and full-body shot (both head on and profile).
– It is very important that you include a return address so, in the event that the casting director thinks you would make a great goblin, you can be sent the next application.
– Don’t bother saying what part you’d be perfect for. If you get the gig, they’ll decide for you.
– Finally, according to New Zealand law, local people must be hired before overseas fanboys and girls.  In other words you need to have a NZ tax number and be able to legally work in the country if you are going to apply.  Also, you must be available for the entire shoot.
So if you meet the requirements….

Thank you so much for posting the address for the extras casting! I’ve heard that principal casting will be done out of London and LA but am unable to find who the casting directors are or their address? Do you have that information?
Thanks again!

I have no idea, that your gonna have to hit up with whatever kind of agent or other such contacts you have. I only report the news, and casting notices like this on here are a rarity, but thanks for reading!
