It was an inauspicious beginning that propelled Bruce Willis to the top of the heap in Hollywood.
You, too, can have an inauspicious beginning – all you have to do is contact Outback Casting and let the silver screen do the rest.
Outback Casting is who the big producers call when they’re looking for authentic Broken Hill folk to loiter in the background of movies, TV shows or commercials, and this time they’re casting for a mini-series that will be broadcast on the popular streaming service, Stan.
Shooting will take place in the Broken Hill area between August 30 and September 5, and there are 11 roles up for grabs for those who fit the following descriptions:

And the really good news is that you don’t even need the slightest whiff of talent.
Applicants must be Broken Hill locals, reliable and available for the duration of the shoot.
