With Amazon's The Lord of the Rings TV show starting production again in New Zealand, the big-budget fantasy program is looking to add to its cast. A casting call spotted by The Guardian is seeking out "funky-looking" people to come in for an audition. This is just the latest round of casting for extras, as the production was looking for Orcs back in December 2019.

　　The production staff at BGT--which previously helped find extras for Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings series--is looking for people with burns on their faces, long skinny limbs, ears that stick out, acne scars, deep cheekbones, missing limbs, large eyes, or skinny faces. There is no word on what the role might be, however.

　　The booker told The Guardian that she is not authorized to speak more about the casting, and the post has since been edited to remove mention of Amazon and The Lord of the Rings.

　　The notice goes on to say that, in addition to fitting the description, you must have "great availability" to appear in the show. You must also live in Auckland, New Zealand or be a New Zealand resident who has working rights in the country.

　　The Lord of the Rings TV show is due to resume production again following its shutdown in March after the breakout of the coronavirus. James Cameron's Avatar sequels are also expected to start shooting again soon in New Zealand.

　　Amazon's Lord of the Rings show is set during the Second Age, so it won't cover the same events as Jackson's movies. Amazon has high hopes for the series, as it's already greenlit Season 2.
