If you've ever wanted to be in a Netflix show, now's your chance.
They've put out an open casting call for The Abandons, which will be filming in and around Calgary from May to October of this year.
The show will have an 1850s Western setting and is set to star Lena Headey (Game of Thrones, 300) and Gillain Anderson (The X-Files, The Crown).
The casting call casts a pretty wide net, calling for men, women, and children of any ethnicity, age 8-80.
It also includes descriptions of what they're looking for:
"We are looking for authentic-looks, unique character faces, hard-working types, blue collar looks, blacksmiths, rancher types, labourer types, butchers, upscale affluent looks & amputees."
