Always dreamed of playing Apple’s lovable cofounder Steve Wozniak on-screen, but think you missed out on the chance when Hollywood comedian Seth Rogen was cast in the role for the upcoming Aaron Sorkin/Danny Boyle Steve Jobs biopic? Well, there may be time yet — provided you’re based in the Bay Area and are available for filming next Tuesday, February 24.
According to a casting call posted on the industry website projectcasting.com, Rogen is in need of a body double for anyone who bears a physical resemblance to the funny man actor. You could even pick up a cool $162 plus overtime for doing so.
The ad reads as follows:
Seth Rogen Double Needed Tues 2/24 – Must be 5’11”-6’1”, approx 195-205 lbs, 44 Suit, 36-38 Waist with inches of thick/wavy Brown Hair on top & a beard. Must match size range, looks & be avail all day 2/24 or do not submit. SAG-AFTRA Double Rate is $162 for 8hrs plus overtime. Open to Union/Non Union. Note Dbl 1 in subject. See link to actor photo for comparison.
Rogen plays Wozniak against Michael Fassbender’s Steve Jobs. Although Fassbender seemingly bears very little resemblance to the real Steve Jobs, I’ve noted on multiple occasions that I’m very excited about this movie, which I fully expect to be up there with the surprisingly-excellent TV movie Pirates of Silicon Valley in quality.
The movie will be divided into three separate keynotes following Jobs from the original Macintosh through the iMac, supported by a variety of flashbacks. Based on the Walter Isaacson biography, the finished film will reportedly be released on Friday, October 9, 2015.
You can check out the rest of the Oscar-worthy cast here. No word on which scenes will require a body double for Seth Rogen. Unlike many body double roles, however, chances are it won’t require the substitute actor to flash any skin. Not only would that not make much sense given the movie’s story, but Rogen seems more than comfortable with that kind of scene himself.
