Episode Two Casting
11/5/99
As Episode II enters its pre-production phase, fans are
getting more and more excited about this new chapter of the Star Wars saga. As a result,
Lucasfilm is being inundated by calls and mailings regarding casting for Episode II, both
from people who want to know what actors have been considered for roles, and from people
who want a role themselves in the new movie. So we would like to correct any wrong
impressions.
The casting director, Robin Gurland, will not start interviewing actors for Episode II
until the end of September at the earliest. Also, Robin cannot accept unsolicited head
shots, resumes, tapes or phone inquiries. The submissions must come through an accredited
agent or agency. All the actors who worked on Episode I, even the ones sometimes referred
to by the public as "unknown", are professionals in the field, and all work with
an agent. In addition, please note that since George Lucas is not involved in the first
stages of the casting process, no submissions should be sent to him.
We appreciate the thousands of inquiries we are receiving from people wanting to be in the
next Star Wars film, but unfortunately, due to the volume of inquiries, we cannot review
unsolicited submissions.
