Guys and vintage rides are on the wish list for “Mindhunter,” a Netflix series being filmed in Pittsburgh
People age 18 and older, especially men, are needed as extras. Those who are interested and who are not already on file with Nancy Mosser Casting can create a free profile on the company's website, mossercasting.com, under the talent registration section.
Most background extras should expect a 12- to 14-hour workday, earning minimum wage for the first eight hours and time-and-a-half after that. Most extras will work one to six days.
Vehicles from the years 1961 to 1995 also are needed. Owners would be compensated $150 for the first 12 hours and time-and-a-half after that. Filming proceeds rain or shine, so owners who don't want their cars to get wet shouldn't submit it for consideration.
To apply, car owners need to send a photo of themselves and their vehicle to MindhunterVehicles@gmail.com. Include your name, phone number and the vehicle's make, model, year and color, and say whether it's in its original condition. The make, model and year of the vehicle should be in the subject line of the email.
Filming has begun for “Mindhunter” and will continue through December. The series focuses on two FBI agents who were pioneers in behavioral profiling during the 1970s.
The series is produced by Charlize Theron and David Fincher and will star Jonathan Groff, Holt McCallany and Anna Torv.
Billy Price wins best soul blues album
Soul singer Billy Price is back home in Pittsburgh after a trip to Memphis that produced a wonderful souvenir: a statuette from the Blues Foundation's 37th annual Blues Music Awards.
Price was among the winners at the awards ceremony May 5 at the Cook Convention Center in Memphis, home of the Blues Hall of Fame. Price's album with Otis Clay, “This Time for Real,” was honored as the best soul blues album. The Vizztone release was produced by Duke Robillard.
Clay, 73, died unexpectedly of a heart attack in January in Chicago. He and Price, 66, had celebrated their joint album by performing together in September at the Rex Theater, South Side.
In a news release, Price says, “I only wish that Otis could have been there to accept the award with me, but I was glad that his daughter, Sena Clay, and his manager, Miki Mulvehill, were there to accept on his behalf.”
Clay also was named best soul blues male artist at the Blues Music Awards, and Robillard won for best acoustic album for “The Acoustic Blues & Roots of Duke Robillard.”
