Casting Call: Midland Wants Extras TONIGHT

Not the town, the FOX TV pilot, Midland,about a con artist juggling two families in two Texas towns. It stars Jon Voight and David Keith. And they need them today. Especially if you’re an “oil executive type” in “cocktail attire” — sounds completely foreign to me.

Not the town, the FOX TV pilot, Midland, about a con artist juggling two families in two Texas towns. It stars Jon Voight and David Keith. And they need them today. Especially if you’re an “oil executive type” in “cocktail attire” — sounds completely foreign to me.

  • Just got off the phone w/Karen, who is coordinating the extras for tonight’s shoot. Says they’re especially in need of men this evening. (Why do I feel like I’m setting up a joke.)

    Filming’s taking place in the Harwood office building and on the rooftop patio. Have fun!
