Episode 32 of TrainTalk.TV TV Casting Calls AMC’s Hell on Wheels season 2 is casting for extras in the Calgary Area so I went and tried out. I’l let you know how it goes. http://www.amctv.com/shows/hell-on-wh… High Noon Entertainment is currently looking to develop a new series around the railroad yards of the North East & Great Lake areas. The show will focus on the individuals who work for the railways (getting a glimpse into their everyday lives). They are in the very early stages of development so any insight in finding the right railway/railroad or crew of railroad employees would be greatly appreciated. This will be a format for shows very commonly seen on the Discovery Channel or National Geographic. It would be fantastic to find employees/crews that know each other but it’s not a deal breaker if they do not. If you can recommend anyone or the best way to find candidates for this series, please let Casting Director Dominique Bouchard know. Anyone interested or who may have questions can reach out to dbouchard@highnoontv.com or email their number and Dominique will call them directly. Interested individuals should send a recent photo along with their name, age, contact info, and area of expertise. http://www.highnoonentertainment.com National Train Day is done for 2012.
