Anyone wonder how they find body doubles for movies? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

My son is a fledgling actor, and we subscribe to a service that is like classified ads for acting roles. I saw this one today which I thought was pretty interesting:

Quote:

We are looking for two body doubles that will involve a shot from behind in your underwear. There is no nudity, and the underwear will completely cover your behind. We need doubles for Mandy Moore and Diane Keaton. In the scene the women are getting a massage, lying on their stomachs, and it will be a quick shot of their rear-ends. Mandy's sizes are: 5'9'1/2, size 6, 35Bust, 26Waist, and 38Hip. She is in her 20's. Diane's sizes are: 5'7', size 4, 34Bust, 28Waist, 36Hip, she has very slim legs. Would like a woman in her 40's. You MUST be available to go to an interview today in Venice at 5:00p.m.

If anyone knows of any early 30ish slightly chubby actor that is no longer athletic that is looking for a body double, will somoeone let me know!?

In my case it does the other way. "Mike Waters, body double extraordinaire has signed for our movie. We are looking for a 30ish actor to play the lead role. He must be ripped have a nice ass, close to approximating Mike Waters in height and weight. Shakespeare theatre experience a plus."

I think there are many of us out there that might qualify for the Jim Belushi or Horatio Sanz body double...
