Public Enemies, the hot new John Dillinger biopic starring Johnny Depp–sigh!–has been filming somewhere a little remote from Hollywood: Madison, Wisconsin! Local aspiring performers just like you were able to reap the benefits!

When casting extras, director Michael Mann (of The Last of the Mohicans and Ali) chose not only professional actors, but people who work day jobs as construction workers, salesmen, and even full-time students! Besides the screen time, the extras also got the chance to rub elbows with the likes of Christian Bale, Emilie de Ravin, and Marion Cotillard.

This is an amazing example of how easy it is to find fame with a part in a feature film, and with a little help from InstantCast, this could happen to you! Check out InstantCast’s latest casting calls now and get the ball rolling on your film career!
