Producer Looking to Cast for T.V. Pilot
Hello All,
You'll probably be seeing this posting in most of the forums here, because I dont know that much about hunting, butI wanted to extend an opportunity to all of you hunters. I am a telelvision producer from Los Angeles looking to cast for a T.V. pilot. I'm looking for a veteran huntsman (is that a word?) who knows everything and anything about hunting. Looking for a gruff older type. If interested, please feel free to send in a resume detailing your experienceand possibly a headshot or picture to [email protected]. Hope to hear from you all soon.

Looking for a gruff older type.
I got the guy for ya, he can play sort of a Grizzly Adams kinda guy, just a bit older, a little less mobile. Maybe he can ride an animal of some sort to get around. Got the hair and beard, craftsman skills. He's a real "doin' my own thing" type, couldn't care less what others think. If it's getting it done-good nuf. Course if your intrested in him, you'd have to supply him with pants of some sort, and a crew person to make sure they stay on. And jars of peanut butter, bread, fresh tomatos and peppers.
Oh! .......................... that thing about headshots - well we're more like head cases!

With all due respect, I'd like to ask one question. Will you be framing hunting and hunters in a fair and balanced manner? I have yet to see much from Hollywood that has been very favorable or that represents hunting in a true sense.And sorry, but I am much too handsome to fit your description.

My point is that I doubt that you'll get a genuinehunter and sportsman to volunteer for such a show. Notwithout firstconvincing and guaranteeinghim that youwon't pull a Michael Moore, and use fancy editingtricks andambush tactics to play fast and loose with the truth, so you cancram him into whatever stereotype you want your audience to see.
Besides that, I'm not sure you'd really want a the genuine article. A true hunter and sportsman won't be afraid to post the BS flag when your "creativedirecting" conflicts with reality, and won'twillingly sell his soul fora few bucksand portray himself as anything other than what he is. If this is what you want, then I think you're looking in the wrong place.

HA .I'm old and Gruff . But to off the wall for a show. I dont hunt like the norm magazine hunter. I go it crude. I EVEN STILL SMEAR THE BLOOD ON THE FACE AFTER A KILL.. Dont BELIEVE IN ALL THE fancy junk. Whatever I'm not your guy. Now the time I road a deer and stabbed it to death would of been a heck of a piece of film.

Well, this is an interesting exercise in using search engines...
Someone going by the name "bluehenproductions" was looking for studio musicians for a reality TV show back in January. No traces after that.
Looking at "captainbluehen"'s profile, he gives his name as Jeff Bell. There is a Jeff Bell who's a TV producer; he was co-executive producer of the "Angel" TV show. Here's a little story about him signing a "seven figure" contract...http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr/television/brief_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000483058
There's a Jeff Bell in the Salt Lake City area: http://www.drugstorezen.com/Jeff.htm(even has a photo!). Mostly an actor, he's done some TVproduction (or so he claims).
There's yetanother Jeff Bell in show biz, who has a voiceover service in the Phoenix area (www.jeffbellvoiceover.com).
The internet movie database, www.imdb.com, has a Jeff Bell who produced a movie (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1332842/).
www.zabasearch.com, which is helpful for people with uncommon names, returned 80 hits for "Jeff Bell" in California--I wasn't about to plow through all that!
Of course, our "captainbluehen" (also the name of a comic book store in Newark, Delaware) may not really be named Jeff Bell.
Maybe our original poster will be a little more forthright with his project and intentions...
