Want to be famous? Then hop to it!
– As we reported a couple weeks ago, “The Real World” will be holding a casting session in Denver tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Guess they saw so many beautiful faces this summer while filming season #18 that they wanted to troll for more. So now’s your chance, all you attention-starved hotties. Get your glossy headshots and best tight clothing ready to stand in line while stone-faced producers nonchalantly wave you off. Here’s the official press release:
“Casting Directors from Bunim/Murray Productions, producers of the perennial hit MTV show “The Real World? will be holding an open casting call at 5 Degrees, 1475 Lawrence St., Suite #150, Denver. CO 80202. Applicants are asked to bring a recent picture of themselves (which will not be returned) and photo ID. Must be 18-24 years old…
Seven lucky people will get the opportunity of a lifetime when MTV hands over the keys to a new fantasy pad this year for the show’s 19th season. The Real World, MTV’s longest running show, is a documentary series about seven strangers who spend five months living and working together.
So what does it take to get on the show? “We look for characters from real life; people with strong personalities who are unafraid to speak their minds,? says Jonathan Murray, an Executive Producer of “The Real World.? Past seasons have been populated with cast members from all walks of life, who have shared their daily experiences openly with millions of viewers. Fans of the shows will remember alumni such as the irreverent Teck; Pedro, the HIV/AIDS educator; and Melissa, the hilarious firecracker from the “The Real World: New Orleans? cast.
The challenge will be met as the Bunim/Murray casting department screens tens of thousands of applicants during open casting calls across the country. All of the applicants have one thing in common: they want millions of television viewers to know their name… and who they are.
Everyone between the ages of 18–24 is encouraged to bring a recent photo and identification to the open casting call at 5 Degrees from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.” (emphasis added)
– So there you have it. Bunim/Murray, which produces “The Real World,” “The Simple Life,” and other improv soap operas, are the ones directly handling the casting for season #19. They haven’t yet announced the host city, but chances are it’ll be another curveball, just as Denver was back in April.
– From Denver the train moves on to Ann Arbor, Mich., State College, Penn., Oxford, Miss., Tucson, Ariz. and Tallahassee, Fla. in coming weeks. Bunim/Murray’s website has all the details on the national locations, dates and times, so head there for more.

I went to the casting call and the only time they asked for id is if you wanted to drink in the bar.
