Hey guys, just wanted to pass this along. My wife and I along with fellow Seibertron member "Prime Evil" attended the Tf2 casting call at the Wachovia Spectrum in Philadelphia yesterday.
The rules were as follows, they took SAG members from 10-11 and non-union "actors" (pretty much anyone else) from 11 to 3.
We got in line about 10:40 am or so. There was already a massive line at that time. They had us fill out info sheets, mainly asking us questions like height/weight and clothing sizes, whether we were students and a few other things. The student question was likely because they had put emphasis on needing college aged actors.
After about a 45-50 minute wait in line, we finally got to the door, only to be told "You're done."
It wasn't just us, they told pretty much everyone that. They did mark letters on every sheet, mine and my wife's read "OT" while Prime Evil's were "PE." However, we were supposed to bring a snapshot along. My wife and I accidentally left ours behind when we were rushing to get on the train so they took us inside to snap some new pictures.
Inside, it was almost a ghost town. Interesting to note that the staff members on the inside were actually complaining that more people weren't sent inside.
The picture process was pretty simple, they wrote our names on a big white sheet and made us hold it next to our bodies while they snapped the photo. They told my wife to make sure that she held it so her Bumbleee shirt fully got in the picture.
After that was done, we were done. We haven't heard anything back yet and honestly I'm not holding my breath but it was a unique experience.
