Casting Calls By: Latrice Butts @ latricebutts.wordpress.com
Central Casting is holding an open casting call for the new Fox series, Star. A new drama about three singers desperate for a new start with ambitions of stardom, navigate the cut-throat music business on their road to success.
The new series is created by Lee Daniels and Tom Donaghy and stars Queen Latifah and Benjamin Bratt. This will begin shooting throughout the Atlanta area in September.
The open casting call will take place on :
Monday-Friday 11am – 5pm
235 Peachtree St NE
Suite #217
Atlanta, GA 30303
{2nd Floor above CVS and a half block down from Hard Rock Cafe}
Star tracks down her sister, SIMONE (newcomer Brittany O’Grady), and her Instagram bestie, ALEXANDRA (newcomer Ryan Destiny), and together, the trio journeys to Atlanta to become music superstars.
Academy Award nominee and Emmy Award, Grammy Award and Golden Globe Award winner Queen Latifah (“Bessie,” “Bringing Down The House”) plays CARLOTTA, a surrogate mother to the young crew.
Emmy Award nominee Benjamin Bratt (“24: Live Another Day,” “Law & Order”) rounds out the cast as JAHIL, a down-on-his-luck talent agent looking to revitalize his career, who’s taken a certain shining to Star. The series will also feature guest star and Grammy Award winner Lenny Kravitz (“Lee Daniels’ The Butler,” “The Hunger Games”). Reality soon dawns on the girls’ fantasies, and they start to learn that ambition often comes at a cost. And sometimes that cost is too high.
Once Again!
