Reality TV?

So you can decide if this is funmail, but I just received the following message:

Dear Shannon,

My name is Sally Lear, I am a Casting Director in Los Angeles on a special assignment for a major television network 's new reality series. I am looking for individuals that are really into the Modern Primitive Movement. Similar to Fakir Musafar however, any ethenicity will do. Would prefer 28-40 years old. If you (personally) or if you know anyone that would be right for our show, please contact me via email sklfreedom@hotmail.com or call my office @310-650-7677. Thank you.

Sally Lear

Well, I figure people might want to do that, I know I've got a weakness for watching reality tv anyway. I said to her, “If you get me more details (a press release on the show?) I can forward this to some awesome people. I assume they must be US citizens?”

I received the following email back. I post it here so anyone who'd like to be on such a show can reply.

Thank you for offering to help me on my search. My search is global therefore I'm sure that the Sci Fi channel would acquire the proper work permit for the individual. It is a TV series and that's all that I am allowed to say at this point. Networks are secretive about shows in development because there is so much piracy.

At this point I really just need a NON-returnable photograph and some sort of bio or brief with contact information about the individual.

The more unusual the individual the better with lots of piercings. This is primetime TV- there is no nudity involved. Would prefer younger (25-40) and hip and/or trendy is fine too. Someone who is into piercing and branding for personal expression. I think I mentioned to you a young Fakir Musafar. The role is not limited to ethenicity , additionally no acting experience is necessary as this is a reality show.

Shannon, I'd really appreciate your help in finding some interesting people. I have to be done with my search on Jan 20th. at least that is done with the first step of the casting process. Anyone that Sci Fi is interested in they would fly here to Los Angeles for that next step.

Let me know how approx how many interested parties you have that would be right for this show.
I can either call them direct or they can mail their information directly to my office addressed to :

Sally Lear Casting
838 North Fairfax Ave.
Los Angeles, CA. 90046
NOTE: PLEASE MARK "REQUESTED MATERIAL" ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE ENVELOPE

OR

If they choose they can call my office directly 310-650-7677 leave their phone # so I can call them back.

In any event the bottomline is that photograph and contact information.

Thank you again for your help.

Best regards,

Sally Lear
