A casting company is calling out for people younger than 30 who are “long hair, hippie types, musicians and bikers” in the Savannah area to be extras in an upcoming Gregg Allman biopic.
Randall Miller and Jody Savin’s “Midnight Rider” stars Tyson Ritter as the young Gregg Allman, Wyatt Russell as Duane Allman, and Academy Award-winner William Hurt as the older Gregg Allman. There is an open call from noon to 4 p.m, Sunday at Meddin Studios, 2315 Louisville Road in Savannah.
Those who cannot make it are asked to please submit a current picture and availability info between Monday and March 27 to MidnightRider@BelleCasting.com.
Midnight Rider, also stars Eliza Dushku, Bradley Whitford, Joel David Moore, Zoey Deutch, Chad Lindberg, Charles Dutton, Aldis Hodge and Kathy Baker.
The film is based on Gregg Allman’s New York Times bestselling biography “My Cross To Bear.” Allman penned the biography along with Alan Light.
“The film focuses on two major parts of Gregg’s life in music: Gregg’s early struggles through the formation of The Allman Brothers Band and the group’s ultimate explosion on the music scene and Gregg’s struggles to clean himself up from drug and alcohol abuse,” Savin is quoted as saying in a news release.
