CHICAGO — Know anyone who's really good at being a naked, drunk guy? They might be able to land a spot on "Shameless."
The show follows the travails of the Gallagher family, led by father Frank (who's often either getting drunk or passed out somewhere instead of caring for his six kids) and oldest daughter Fiona. They live in Canaryville.
The show is looking for paid extras to appear in the series. Among the roles: junkies, who can be played by men or women as long as they're 18 or older; neighbors of the family, who can be anyone 30 to 75 years old; and a drunk, naked man.
The naked man needs to be "comfortable with full frontal on camera," according to the casting call.
Filming runs July 31 to Aug. 4 in Chicago. Extras might be needed for more than one day.
The show is also looking for people who can serve as stand-ins and photo doubles for some of the show's stars. In particular, it's looking for a 21- to 35-year-old woman who has welding experience to stand in for youngest daughter Debbie.
And if you're willing to dye your baby's hair red, the show needs a stand-in for Franny Gallagher, Debbie's daughter. The casting call says the stand-in must be an 18- to 24-month-old girl who has red hair or "blonde willing to be dyed red," and twins are preferred.
