Casting directors will be holding an open casting call in Metairie, LA for extras and stand-ins for the upcoming Mark Wahlberg movie Contraband on Saturday.

According to WDSU, “Directors said they need women, children and particularly men for the shoot. They also said they are also seeking a large number of actors from Central America, both Spanish and English-speaking.”

Participants are asking to bring a non-returnable photo to the ballroom of the Sheraton Hotel at 4 Galleria Drive in Metairie, LA between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday.

Anyone unable to attend the open call is asked to send a photograph, along with a name, address, e-mail address, age and phone number to contrabandextras@gmail.com.

The film, which co-stars Kate Beckinsale, is scheduled to begin principle photography in New Orleans in January.
