Looking To Cast for Charles' Horrible Life
August 26, 2013 Los Angeles, CA
From the Casting Thingy: AFRICAN-AMERICAN, 40-45 years old. Charles' mom and determined to bring to justice the people responsible for nearly killing her son. ...See attached photo.
....hurm.
Here is the problem with attaching a picture of someone to a submission where it is apparent it is a recreation of a crime: Any actor good at doing research can find the case.
I'm that actor: Sister Arrested in Attack on Mississippi Teen.
There is actual video of the African American 40-45 year old mom of Charles. The sister? Dead-inside eyes. The man on the video for the news is even worse. The guy who is the chief officer is doubly worse. It's like Mayberry RFD except Gomer Pyle is better at his job.
I can see why this would become a story on a crime show like A&E. I can completely hear Bill Kurtis' voice over this with actors reenacting the story.
All I know is this: I can no doubt get my hair to look like the picture of the actual woman. I can also play a completely clueless mother whose shirt in the picture I saw is really ironic, considering the story I just read and watched.
I might be a lot taller than this woman. But oh yes. I can play this woman. Easy.
I feel sorry for Charles. He is about to have his horror relived all over again on National Television.
I really hope they paid this kid to tell his story. I really, really hope that. The moment the check clears, I hope he packs up and get as far away from Mississippi as that check can take him.
