If youre a fan of the popular supernatural show GRIMM, inspired by the Grimm Brothers fairy tales, heres your shot at being part of the action in Season 3.

According to a press release from NWCN.com (http://tinyurl.com/nwcngrimm), the show, which films in the Portland area, is looking for people age 18 and older, all types and looks, to be EXTRAS and featured background lots of people. A casting call will be held from noon to 6 p.m. Sunday in the Willamette Room at the Doubletree, 1000 N.E. Multnomah St. in Portland. Use the banquet entrance.

If youre not sure what an extra is or does, an assistant director in Hollywood long ago gave the Ear a pithy explanation: Props that eat. Featured extras get up close and personal with the camera, and are not just moving around in the background.

Cant make it, but want to be considered for a job as an extra, anyway? Sign up at EXTRAS ONLY (www.extras only.com) and use the project code Grimm. Preregistration information is available at 503-299-4776.

The pay aint great as an extra its minimum wage but at least eight hours are guaranteed, plus overtime. Featured extras get $150 plus overtime.

So heres your chance to go Hollywood via Portland.
