A chick I went to high school with is a casting director for commercials and the like, and she just posted an intriguing note on our alumni forum.
I know it’s a shot in the dark, but I thought there might be a slight chance that there is a some kind of crossover between comix readers and Star Wars fans, so I’m just putting this out there (for New York-area residents):
“Jenevieve over at About Face Models is looking for diehard fans of the Star Wars movies. She is looking for guys 18 and up, any ethnicity, but they MUST have a Star Wars costume! This is a commercial for Ebay and it is SAG so you should make pretty good money. (You don’t have to be in SAG to audition.) If interested, please email Jenevieve — aboutfacemodels@yahoo.com — ASAP and tell her Nef Jones sent you.”
After some mix-ups with shipping, I finally received my X-mas gift from Sari, a set of curio cabinets for the small collection of toys, models, and action figures that I’ve acquired over the years. (Yes, like every other cartoonist on earth, I am at least part geek.)
