MEN Extras required in Wellington!

Last week, it was widely reported that 3 Foot 7 Ltd had put out a call for ELF Extras via New Zealand's job seeking website, Trademe.co.nz.

Originally, the advertisement stated :

We are currently looking for slim men 17-30 years and between 165cm – 178 cm or 5’5” -5’8” AND slim women 17-30 years between 165cm – 173cm or 5’5” to 5’8” to play ELF extras.

I've just revisited the site, and it seems to have changed completely. It now it says :

We are currently looking for MEN based in the Wellington region aged 30 plus, medium - large build, 5'8" - 6 foot (175cm - 183cm) Character faces, beards, missing teeth - all good.


I'm not sure if that means they're still looking for Elves or no longer - I guess it pays to respond quickly to these advertisements!

I'm also not sure if they're looking for MEN as a race (as opposed to ELVES), or MEN as a gender (as opposed to WOMEN extras). I've put my application in just in case - I didn't qualify for the ELF call, but this time I'm in!

Bonus - it no longer requires applicants to be slim and pretty, in fact being larger and ugly may just count as a plus! So, watch for my name in the credits!


So if you live in Wellington (a requirement, I'm afraid), apply quickly before it all changes again!

    I'm now very curious as to why they changed the casting call. Perhaps they got inundated with emails? It makes me slightly worried for those DID apply for the casting...

    Hey hey now, don't be equating not being thin with being ugly!

    @Lady Nerd : I got a twitter message yesterday from someone who got their callup, who stated that there were also under-30's, and women at the auditions... so, it appears the Elves got in ok...

    @Maria :

    A fair point - I've changed the wording, to be more specific and less judgemental... :) Hope you approve!
