Hey, everybody! Do you look "Down & Out," "International," or like a cop? Have some free time the next couple of weeks? Want to make $104...or more? Then the Hulu TV series Chance might have a gig for you!

According to a notice sent by San Francisco-based Beau Bonneau Casting, the "psychological thriller starring Hugh Laurie" (among others) is seeking all sorts of types for paid extra work on shooting days ranging from Thursday through 7/25. The show, which as previously reported is based on a two-year-old novel by California writer Kem Nunn centering on neuropsychiatrist Eldon Chance (Laurie) "who reluctantly gets sucked into a violent and dangerous world of mistaken identity, police corruption and mental illness," will premiere on Hulu on October 19, Deadline reported last month.

The series is shooting Mondays through Fridays "mostly in SF!" the casting notice says, including numerous scenes in which San Francisco will play the part of Oakland. First the Warriors, now this? Sorry, Oakland!

For Thursday, Chance is seeking (sic throughout) "Hipsters, Business types after work, Tough Thug types & Down & Out types" for scenes that will be shot "in SF, but it’s Downtown Oakland at night in the story with a mix of people in the streets."

On July 19 and 20, they're looking for folks available for both days for a "'casual Oakland' neighborhood strip mall scene shooting in SF" with a "mix of daytime pedestrian traffic, young adults, workmen, panhandlers, Uniformed Police, Detectives."

Also on Wednesday the 20th — and this one is my favorite — they're looking for "Featured Massage Parlor Masseuses - International-looking Women 21 - 35, Eastern European, African, Latin American , etc. Dir will photo select a couple women to appear to be rushed out of Parlor in states of undress (& possibly handcuffs) with 'clients' by Police."

THIS COULD BE YOUR BIG BREAK LADIES! Interested applicants should "submit with subject line 7/20 Masseuse, Your Name, Approx Age, City you live in, Cell # & include a non-smiling or closed-mouth smiling pic." Just, remember, don't get too undressed or there'll be big trouble for your location manager.

The casting agency also reminds those "willing to portray rough or gritty character roles, e.g. Thug, Homeless, Addict, Prostitute, etc., send more pics! Dress for the part, with natural, un-styled hair, no make up. & Take non-smiling close up & standing pic (no sunglasses)."

And of course there are rough and gritty characters, for as previously reported, "Chance’s decent into the city’s shadowy underbelly, all while navigating the waters of a contentious divorce and the tribulations of his teenage daughter, soon spirals into an ever deepening exploration of one of mankind’s final frontiers — the shadowy, undiscovered country of the human mind." And in the shadowy recesses of the human mind, no one wears makeup and handcuffed, possibly undressed massage parlor employees never, ever smile.

Think you've got what it takes? If so, here's the full casting notice. Good luck!
