Heery Casting holding auditions for extras in ‘Rocky’ sequel, ‘Creed’

The next installment in the Rocky series, Creed, is set to start filming on Jan. 26. And while the film has already found its leads in Sylvester Stallone, Michael B. Jordan, Tessa Thompson and Phylicia Rashad, you still have a chance to appear in the movie as an extra thanks to an ongoing casting call right here in Philly.

Headed up by casting director Diane Heery, the Philly-based Heery Casting is currently seeking men and women aged 18 to 70 to appear as background players in Creed. The film will shoot in Philly through the end of March and the positions are paid. In a recent Facebook posting, Heery indicated that they are "going to need a lot of people... Like a ton of people.," so get those packets in.

Check out the requirements for casting, as per a release via Heery Casting, below:

Please email us a picture in .jpg format and a resume in .pdf format.

Be sure to include the body of the email:

Name

phone number ( and where you are located if your phone number is not a Philadelphia local area code)

SAG-AFTRA membership number (if applicable)

height, weight and all of your sizes

If you have a car, include the make, model, year and color of the car.

If you think you've got the stuff, send an email over to creedcasting@gmail.com, and maybe we'll see you in the pictures someday.

However, it is important not to be fooled. Heery indicates on their site that several other, unnamed websites are falsely "sending emails posting as the Casting Directors for 'Creed.'" Those emails will ask you for money to submit your audition materials, and Heery Casting insists that "all you have to do is submit to creedcasting@gmail.com" to be considered.
