If you have already been seen by Erica or Anne for a speaking role in KILLING LINCOLN and have filled out the information sheet (you did this at your audition) stating that YES, you would like to be considered as an extra, it is unnecessary to attend this open call. Know you are already in consideration! The day player roles have not yet been cast, and you will be considered first for a speaking role and then for an extra role.
Thank you!
