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.
Apparently pleased with the photo taken at the photo casting
session May 22, Urbana “Toto” Martinez and son Jacques tried out
for parts as extras.
