A casting agency with the Jackie Robinson biopic “42” is seeking local extras to appear in the movie and will hold another open casting call Saturday.
Even after a well-attended audition a few weeks ago, the movie, which stars Harrison Ford, still needs up to 1,000 actors, said Cecilia Davidson-Farkas, a spokeswoman with Catrett Locke Casting.
“We need a lot – many, many hundreds more,” she said.
Those who auditioned previously do not have to attend Saturday’s casting call, she said.
