No acting experience necessary; both SAG and non-union talent will be considered. All roles are paid positions.

In addition to civilian people, we are also looking for any Asian talent with a military background.

Looks like we'll be seeing some Decepticons terrorizing a Chinese village or something. Though I'm betting it's unlikely they'll have any substantial Asian characters. It'll probably be pretty lame, but I'm still curious about it. If anybody out there ends up getting cast as an extra on this set, let me know how it goes, and share any interesting details you can pass along (you can remain anonymous).

UPDATE: Of course, you can't put a casting call out there like this without some idiot making ignorant-ass comments, like on this site, where a contributor wrote, "Round-eyes need not apply!" and "If you switch your R's and L's when speaking, you can be in the next Transformers movie." Tired, and completely unnecessary. That's racist!
