FUTURAMA - Yes actual Fox Show (NOT FAN PROJECT)

Scroll down to see how to send your auditions or read the article link above. This is for the actual show. Not some online fan thing. This is the real deal. If they like your auditions enough, you may end up on the show when it reairs on Comedy Central. THEY ARE RECASTING ALL THE MAJOR CHARACTERS BECAUSE THE ACTORS ARE TOO EXPENSIVE FOR THEM TO PAY. So here's your chance. Also, pass the word onto the VAA.

SERIES REGULAR ROLES:

[ PHILIP J. FRY (FRY) ]
Fry, a 20th century slacker, works as a pizza delivery boy. On December 21st, 1999, he is cryogenically frozen and wakes up 1000 years in the future in the city of New New York. Through a series of events, Fry tracks down his great (x30) nephew Professor Hubert Farnsworth and lands a job at the Professors Planet Express delivery company as a delivery boy. Fry bunks with Planet Expresss beer-swilling robot, Bender. Fry is constantly trying to win the heart of Leela, the companys ship captain...SERIES REGULAR

[ TURANGA LEELA (LEELA) ]
Leela, a sexy Cyclops, is the captain of the Planet Express delivery ship. Leela is in charge of every company mission, having her hands full keeping Fry and Bender in line. Her early years were spent in an orphanage where she was a bit of an outcast for having one eye. She took up kickboxing and other similar sports to make up for the lack of friends. She still has problems with men and often gets jealous of Amys (her co-worker) popularity among the opposite sex. She has a soft spot for Fry but is unsure of anything further than that, due to Frys clumsy advances...SERIES REGULAR

[ BENDER BENDING RODRIQUEZ (BENDER) ]
Bender, a cigar-smoking, booze-guzzling, kleptomaniac robot, had a successful career in bending girders but tired to kill himself when he found out the girders were being used for suicide booths. He was saved by Fry and later took a job at Planet Express. To be able to function properly, Bender needs the chemical energy from alcohol. Excessive drinking is mandatory or he will become sober and unable to control his body. Magnets stuck to his head make him sing like a folk singer...SERIES REGULAR

[ PROFESSOR HUBERT FARNSWORTH (PROFESSOR) ]
Professor Hubert Farnsworth is the owner of the Planet Express delivery company, which he uses to fund his strange scientific experiments. He also lectures at Mars University on the mathematics of quantum neutrino fields (he made up the name so no one would dare take the course). He is technically 160 years old, but to avoid being picked up by the sunset squad and taken to the near death star he says he is only 150...SERIES REGULAR

http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/inde....=back-in-action (Episode 5ACV01)

[ DR. JOHN ZOIDBERG (ZOIDBERG) ]
Dr. Zoidberg, a lobster-like alien, left his home planet of Decapod 10 to become a rich doctor but instead became the Planet Express staff doctor (doesnt pay so well). Zoidberg, who is usually shunned by the rest of the Planet Express crew, is always in search of his next meal. His skill as a surgeon, and basic knowledge of human anatomy, are often called into question. He secretly desires to become a stand-up comedian...SERIES REGULAR

Oh boy! I can't wait to audition for something I can't actually be in because I'm not part of the SAG and don't live in the right area.

Plus, I'm pretty sure the whole thing is bullshit. FOX is just saying this so the actors will accept the lower pay.

You really shouldn't bump a dead project. Especially considering they aren't recasting anybody.

Well, the re-casting was actually announced, and I sent in a letter to the person in charge of casting to complain. I just received a mass-reply yesterday from Mr. Groening and Mr. Coen (or whoever does their emailing) saying things had been worked out with the original cast, and they would all be returning.

Part of me thinks it was all a publicity stunt to get some attention, but so long as the original cast returns I will be happy as a clam in...er...ClamLand?
