Just had this email sent to me:

Hi there

We are currently searching for people to be involved as extras and featured extras for an American TV show called “Spartacus”. It will be a stylistic show set in Rome around 300BC and similar to “300” (the movie) in look. It is being made by the same production company who created “Hercules” and “Xena”.

I have attached a flyer which outlines in detail all the roles we are looking to cast, but in particular we are seeking:

Gladiator Men: At least 180cm (5’11”) in height with a very muscular build. All ethnicities.

We are holding an open casting call this Sunday for anyone you think may be good for any of the roles (but particularly body-building types for the Gladiators).

Or if you have a group of people that may be training in a gym or other location in Auckland, give me a call and we can come to you to take photos and have them fill in a short form.

Open casting call: Sunday 10th May between 12 noon and 2.00pm.
Catch Casting
243 Great North Road
Grey Lynn

Or please free to phone Andrea, Linda or Joe at Catch Casting on 360-0999 to discuss further.

Kind regards
Andrea Bruce

Guys in wheelchairs who would give their lives to have sore hips. Some are missing their arms and would love to be able to Bench to get tendonitis. So shut the F**K up and lift.

I wouldn't worry too much about the height thing,one of my mates is an extra on this and he's not exactly "imposing" by any stretch of the imagination. He's obviously not a gladiator, being just 5'6" and weighing probably 60kg, but he's getting paid a good whack for his time.

And GR would make the rest of the guys look bad! :grin:
A man walks into a petrol station and says, 'can I please have a Kit Kat Chunky?'
The lady behind the till gets him a Kit Kat Chunky and brings it back to him.
'No,' says the man, 'I wanted a normal Kit Kat, you fat bitch.'
