Central Casting gave us a clue this week about when shooting in the District would take place on the Clint Eastwood biopic “J. Edgar.”
Filming in D.C. is only happening for two days, on March 27 and then the morning of March 28. There will also be scenes shot in Warrenton, Va., and The Plains, Va.
The casting company is looking for “young looking” actors in their 20s to 40s with a Screen Actors Guild background. Hair and height are a big thing. Male “federal agents” and “cops” are needed and they all must be between 5-foot-8 and 6 feet tall. They are requesting that women have shorter hair, which cannot be highlighted or dyed. All the women on set will have their hair in 1930s styles. Some of the male actors hair will have to be cut, the casting call said.
Leonardo DiCaprio stars as J. Edgar Hoover in the film, with a supporting cast of “The Social Network’s” Armie Hammer, “Gossip Girl’s” Ed Westwick, Naomi Watts, who played Valerie Plame in “Fair Game,” Josh Lucas and Judi Dench.
