PAGE 2 JUNE 2, 1978 Over 80 Try Out Fer TV Series Armed with a Polaroid camera and umpteen packets of film, Carol Bryant, local casting director for the television series “How the West Was Won”, photographed and interviewed over 80 local people in the campus area Monday, May 22. Folks trying out for parts as extras at the photo casting session ranged in age from about three to seventy-five years, some wearing colorful Indian regalia while others just wore regular street attire. Of the people who tried out, thirty-two will be selected for parts in the film for which shooting begins Monday, June 12, at Bend. The series will be aired sometime after January of next year (1979). Bryant described Monday’s photo casting session at Warm Springs as “one of the best turnouts she’s ever had.” She said she doesn’t anticipate any problem in selecting the needed 32 extras. The photos, attached to papers detailing name, age, weight and height, have been forwarded to the director who will make the final selections. Bryant will then notify those who were chosen, probably next week. Extras will be paid $30 per day and will be provided lunch on the set and transportation to and from the film site. Since the setting of the film is in the 1840’s near the Cana dian border, the director is look ing for fairly lean people in good physical condition. In that re spect, Bryant was pleased with the physical characteristics of the locals who showed up for the casting session. The 32 selected extras will be made up of six Indian children from ages 3 to 9, six young Indian men from 18-30, five Indian men aged 50-70, eight Indian women over 45, and two people with mixed Indian and non-Indian ancestry. The main plot of this seg ment of the series “How the West Was Won”, starring James Arness, centers around a French Canadian who is part-Indian. The law is attempting to bring him to “justice”, but he fights for his rights. Arness believes in the young man and lets him go free.
