Seems like we are seeing Taylor Swift everywhere these days, and a a lead role in Girls Like Us is her new project. According to several sources, Swift hasn’t yet officially locked in the role, but talk of the singer playing the legendary Canadian has been fluttering around for a while now. Girls Like Us is set to start filming later this year and Taylor admitted that she’s been reading film scripts for about five years just waiting patiently for the right role. Casting calls have gone out for all of the major roles such as Carole King, Carly Simon, Gerry Goffin, James Taylor, and David Crosby. Also roles for young Carly Simon at ages 11 – 13, and young Carole King at age 11. This is a great opportunity for anyone looking to break into the acting industry and work along side Taylor Swift.
Girls Like Us , the book by Sheila Weller, tells the story of Carole King, Joni Mitchell and Carly Simon in the so called soft-rock movement of the ’70s, but there was nothing mellow about their journeys. The book is set against the backdrop of the feminist movement and it’s impact on the music world, and what makes the story so fascinating from someone who really enjoyed it, was getting to know these heroines through the heartache and joy that they experienced as young women. I actually think it could make a great movie, but clearly, needs to be done well.
The initial casting call consists of over 100 speaking roles, including numerous roles for kids and teens, and other notable supporting roles like John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Cat Stevens, and Henry Mancini. If you are interested in auditioning for any of the following roles please submit your application along with a photo and resume. Please keep checking back for more information on casting dates and times and leave us a comment and let us know if you think that Taylor Will get the part.

Good Afternoon,
I am looking for a part as an extra on the set. I am disabled, but not in a wheel chair.
I graduated from Barbizon Modeling School in Chicago when I was 13. I am also a retired Manicurist in which I owned my own Salon with a full clientel.
It has been my goal to be in a Movie or Commercial as an Extra for as long as I can remember and i am not going to let my disability get in the way of my goals, it will only make me work that much harder.
Soon, I will be getting new Picture Shots that I will post or have if I am contacted for an Audition.
All I ask for is a chance to spread my wings and fly
Thank You,
Deborah Billington

HELLO,
My name is Camryn Capizzi, form San Diego CA (but I would be willing and able to travel if needed),
I am very recently 19 years old (as of February 16th, 2013), I am fair/light skinned caucasian female, with very curly fair blonde hair (I would be willing to temporarily straighten or dye my hair, even permanently dye it depending on the color), I have medium-big sized blue eyes (medium hue), I am 5’6″, 160 lbs, and have an apple-type body shape.
I look like I could be related to Taylor Swift and have dreamed of being in a movie with her since I fist learned she loved to act too!!
I have always love to perform and have an extensive performance resume, but most of all I perform musically. I have a youtube channel with only one song as of now. I have worked and performed with The (Paul Green) School of Rock in Chatham NJ and Vista CA for 5 years as of graduation last year, and work and perform with the Chops Woodshed Academy in Solana Beach CA for 1 year, and play many-multiple instruments proficiently, including vocals and guitar.

Although I am very much into music, I have always loved to act and would consider it a major part of my career and life plan, and I am very good at it too, but unfortunately do not have as much experience performing as I would like to in that department. In a way, I think that makes my performances more raw, and in certain roles that can be a very good thing. I can bring an animal real-ness and emotional honesty that must be shown through someone who desperately wants something they know they have to work extremely hard to even get close to, and I desperately want this. I have an upbeat, positive personality and have also been told that I have great comedic timing, but I also do drama very well and enjoy it very much. I would put my whole heart and soul into making people love my character, and if you choose me, I promise I will come at it with everything I have got.
Please, please, PLEASE consider letting me move on to the next step,
Thank you,
-Camryn Capizzi.
