Adam Sandler's 'Grown Ups 2' Casting Call this Weekend
What to be an extra in Grown Ups 2? Here's everything you need to know about an upcoming casting call for paid extras.
The new star-packed Adam Sandler movie 'Grown Ups 2' will be filmed not far away from Salem, just over the line in Marblehead this summer.
And like that time Rob Zombie came to town to film, we're sure some of you are asking: "how do I get in the movie?"
Well, Patch is here to help - so get your non-professional 4x6 color picture all ready, brush up on your acting skills, and clear up your schedule for an open casting call next month in Boston.
The Los Angeles-based company casting the movie, Sande Alessi Casting, is looking for "thousands of different types of people: all ages, kids and adults of any ethnicity, all shapes and sizes," according to their recently-distributed flier.
The casting company has found extras for movies including such blockbusters as Pirates of the Caribbean, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Social Network, Jack and Jill, That's My Boy, Glee and CSI.
When is the casting call?
- Saturday, May 12, arrive at any time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
- Sunday, May 13, arrive at any time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Where is it?
- Carson Place at The Boston Teachers' Union Hall, 180 Mt. Vernon St., Dorchester (near the Bayside Expo Center).
What will you need?
- Hopefuls should bring a pen and a current 4x6 color snapshot of themselves. The photograph must NOT be professional and it must look like you. Please do not bring head shots. No experience needed.
Residents looking for more information are encouraged to "like" Sande Alessi Casting Boston on Facebook.

I have done some acting starting in the fourth grade as foreman on the cunstruction of the Sagamore Bridge. This was at Ella F.Hoxie school in Sagamore Beach.
My acting career continued at a point much further on in college. At Cape Cod Community College. Here I secured the role of the playwright in the composition of a play regarding the life of individuals with disabilities; 'English Is A Foreign Language'.
The only remotely remarkable part pf this occurence is or would be the fact that I personally am disbled. At the age of fourteen I was involved in a motor vehicle accident. As a result of said occurence I passed on and was intabated at the scene of the accident. After many years of recovery, re-learning and further brain training I have I have held jobs ranging from construction to health care.
I understand that it is now past the deadline to sign up for the cast call. Given, I probably am issuing this request in a futile attempt, but (in the long an the short of it) I would appreciate a "shot" at obtaining a part as part of the movie cast.
I also took a course in set construction and lighting in backstage workings. If you have any interest in my taking part in this production, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
There is more I would like to say but not enogh room on this page. I had to delete a paragraph.
