NYC casting call for Bob Dylan clones

Come gather ‘round, actors who look like Bob Dylan, and hope the makers of his new music video don’t say, “It ain’t you we’re lookin’ for, babe.” The Daily Swarm recently pointed out a Craigslist-announced New York casting call for “Bob Dylan look-a-likes at any stage of his life between 5’7” - 5’9” in height” (Dylan himself is 5’7” and ½, to be precise). The concept compliments Todd Haynes upcoming Dylan biopic I’m Not There, in which he is played by six different actors, most of whom would not meet the standards of the music video (see: Cate Blanchett, Heath Ledger, Christian Bale). Tryouts for the video, which shoots tomorrow, should be slightly less disturbing than a Slim Shady factory.
