Ckrush Entertainment has announced that John Leguizamo along with Michael Rapaport, and Cara Buono will be the judges for the final round of competition to select the eight lead actors to star in the thriller Live Mansion: The Movie, the first film produced by a social network.
"We are excited to have three actors as talented as John, Michael, and Cara on board to help Live Mansion select the best possible cast for this film" said Jeremy Dallow, President of Ckrush. "Their participation in casting Live Mansion: The Movie is not only exciting for us, but for the entire community at LiveMansion.com. We plan to continue to bring unique opportunities to our members to interact with each other and professionals in the film industry."
There are eight lead roles that are being cast in Live Mansion: The Movie. Each role is down to three finalists from a field of 1000 entries. The finalists were flown to NY last week for screen tests. The audition tapes will be critiqued by the panel of judges in front of a live audience in New York City on March 19, 2007. The audition tapes will then be posted with the panel's comments on
LiveMansion.com for the community's members to vote on and decide who gets cast.
"When I was asked to participate in this event, I thought it would be a great opportunity to help actors that are trying to make it in this industry. LiveMansion is a unique platform for actors to show their talent," said Leguizamo.
