‘Hairy men’ needed to play soldiers in returning major fantasy TV series

A huge TV series has issued an urgent casting call for, very specifically, ‘hairy men’ to play soldiers.

The exact show hasn’t been named in the casting call, but it’s definitely a major returning fantasy, and is reportedly House of the Dragon, the hit Game of Thrones spin-off.

This big on demand show is set to start filming in just two months’ time, meaning anyone considering shouldn’t wait to apply.

There are a list of key characteristics candidates should have if hoping for this role, including a great work ethic and a professional attitude, something all Mancs like to think we have.

The job description states that no prior acting experience is required, one of the only other things you need to be good at is waking up early (well that’s me out).

Most importantly, headhunters are looking for individuals to take on that have one big factor in common… lots of hair.

On the official website where you can submit your headshots and photos, you will find a mood board filled with ranging hairstyles that fit the desired look the show is going for.

Most of the pictures on the site range from long curly locks to big bushy beards – it’s a shame Santa will be back in the North Pole by now.

All candidates must have grown-out hair, ‘overgrown scruff to longer beards’, this means no short, back and sides, or any ‘modern fades’ as stated by the casting team.

If the rumours are true and this turns out to be a shoot for House Of The Dragon, it would be great to see even more Northern talent feature in this show.

It wasn’t too long ago that fans and Mancs alike realised that actor Olivia Cooke, who plays Lady Alicent Hightower, was a local lass herself, born not too far away in Oldham.

One final and important note is that anyone who is likely to apply must make sure they’re 18+ and have a right to work in the UK.

Filming will take place across North Wales and the South East from March onwards, with rate of pay roughly £140-£300+ per day (depending on hours worked).

To apply for a chance to feature in the returning major fantasy series, you can do so by visiting the site HERE.
