Casting Call
July 20, 2009
Casting for FOX
FOX is conducting a worldwide open call online to cast two characters for its upcoming 2010 comedy, Sons of Tucson. The plot is about a charming con man named Ron who is hired by three brothers to act as their father while their real one is serving prison time for a white collar crime. Specifically, FOX is looking to cast two of the brothers. Kids and teens, with or without acting experience are invited to upload their audition videos online through July 24 at http://www.sonsoftucsonopencall.com . The show's Los Angeles-based casting directors will review each audition video and contact those they are interested in. Details on the two brother characters "Robby" and "Brandon" are as follows:
Robby - (8 years old) is the youngest Gunderson sibling. He's an impish and impulsive grade-schooler who needs Ron to bail him out when he accidently starts a fire at the back-to-school fair.It's partially for this reason that the Gundersons hire Ron full-time to pose as their dad.
Brandon - (13-15 years old) is the oldest of the Gunderson boys. He views life and the family's current situation through a somewhat warped lens. Energetic and upbeat, his eccentricity is charming at times, but his efforts to help his brothers often land them in hot water. He possesses terrific self confidence that is completely unearned.

Family of Mann
From our friend Tracey Rooney:
I'm in a new play! It's Theresa Rebeck’s The Family of Mann and I play the lead- Belinda- the newest writer on sitcom spinoff of Family Ties in 1994 (yes, it’s autobiographical and based on her first job working for Family Ties showrunner Gary David Goldberg)
They’re doing 1/2 price tickets all next weekend- for reservations or more information, call (323) 769-5858 or go to http://www.theatreneo.com/
The Family of Mann, Theresa Rebeck’s biting comedy, looks at how a sitcom is made… and what gets destroyed in the process. Rebeck, a veteran TV writer (NYPD Blue, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Brooklyn Bridge, Dream On), spins a painfully hilarious story about TV, artistic integrity, power, and the longing for connection in the workplace.
The Secret Rose Theatre
11246 Magnolia Blvd.
North Hollywood, CA 91601
Showtimes: Fri/Sat at 8pm and Sun. at 2pm
Family of Mann runs through 11/22
