Get on Camera as an Extra!

Volunteers are needed (18 OR OLDER ONLY) to appear as extras in PRIVATE. They need guys and girls to appear as Easton Academy students, Billings House Girls--and their boyfriends! AND WAIT--THERE'S MORE! Dennie Gordon (Director of THE OFFICE, 30 ROCK, and WHAT A GIRL WANTS) will be selecting actors from among the volunteers for various credited speaking roles.


If you'd like to appear in PRIVATE, and you plan to be in the Los Angeles area on one or more of the following dates: 6/25, 6/27, 6/28, 7/1, 7/11 or 7/15, contact the Production Company at starinprivate@gmail.com with the following information:


**Name
**Age
**Photo
**Phone number
**Email address
**Date(s) you'll be available: 6/25, 6/27, 6/28, 7/1, 7/11 or 7/15


If you're selected, someone will contact you one week before the shoot date to confirm your availability and tell you which scenes you've been selected for! Then, you'll be contacted again, one day before your shoot date, with the exact time and location. Good luck!

OMG...i really loved to be an extra for this show; too bad that i live in NYC, NY. Is there cross-country for tryouts or not, j/a (just asking)!

Posted by Vicky on June 23, 2009 at 02:12 PM EDT #

Vicky - there is. You just go to LA, and notify them. I'm sure this volunteer thing is for US residents/citizens only. (: HTH (hope that helped!)

I missed being in Twilight because I wasn't 18, and now that I finally am...ugh, how I wish I was closer to LA! I wonder what would happen if I just...decided to take an impromptu roadtrip? haha. For all those who are lucky enough to be extras, let us know how it goes! :)

Posted by Kelli on June 23, 2009 at 08:18 PM EDT #

That's very cool. It sucks because I'm only 14. I would have loved to do it, and I already have minor acting expirence. Good luck to the girls and guys who make the cut!!!!

Posted by Desi on June 23, 2009 at 08:59 PM EDT #

Well I would just like to say thankyou kate and all the other people involved in this. You really try to keep your fans happy and i appreciate it. Im not 18 so i cant go but i understand why you want people over 18. so goodluck to all you extras! have fun in LA and maybe ill see you because im gonna be down there around that time anyways.

Posted by Lauren on June 23, 2009 at 10:24 PM EDT #

PLEASE POST FIRST CHAPTER OF SUSPICION! :) ive been rereading all the books and i just finished paradise lost... I have to know what happened to reed! i feel like josh might be hurt to i never noticed it before but like he never texted her or anything updating her on ivy and we all know he is a very thoughtful person so i feel like that would be out of character if he blew reed off but maybe he just couldnt handle talking to her...idkk. and who pushed reed?! ugh im dying here kate. PLEASE JUST THE FIRST CHAPTER to know whats up. and when i read it again i forgot about upton! what a player! i cant believe he left i thought him and reed were cute together and now she will have MORE hard times trying to get over him. even though i know they wouldnt have worked out (because josh and her are head over heels in love even though theyre in a rough spot right now) but i am still ery upset! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FIRST CHAPTER! me and all the other fans will be so happy! :)

Posted by Lauren on June 23, 2009 at 10:24 PM EDT #

I loe your books. Too bad i'm not over 18 though. I agree with someone above. I have been thining for a while that Josh got hurt or something becaue he wouldnt not text or call Reed especially because they were just starting to be friends again. I want to know what happened to him!!! I cant wait for the next book!!!!

Posted by Karyn on June 23, 2009 at 10:54 PM EDT #

awwwh! Im really bummmed like a lot of the other girls, but im waiting for another chance like this :) thanks so much Kate for your amazing books!

Posted by Mely on June 24, 2009 at 12:03 AM EDT #

wow, if only i live in your country! i'm 25 but people think i'm only 19!

Posted by audrey on June 24, 2009 at 12:10 AM EDT #

AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is absolutely amazing!!!!!!! It will be even better than gossip girl!!!!!!!!(no offense gossip girl) If they can make the show half as good as the books then ill be soooooo happy!!!!

Gosh dang I'm not 18. :'( Tear.

Posted by Tia on June 24, 2009 at 08:00 AM EDT #

i didn't even know until now that there's gonna be a Private series. is gonna be on the web or on tv?

Posted by Kaylin on June 24, 2009 at 12:23 PM EDT #

you guys got it all wrong. Private is going to be a web series and they are picking Private fans to play some parts and extras. Also the people who made Gossip Girl are the ones incharge of this web series.

Posted by pksonone on June 24, 2009 at 12:43 PM EDT #

Yes! Please post the first chapter! I'm dying over here!

Posted by marisa on June 24, 2009 at 01:27 PM EDT #

I really want to be an extra but I am not 18 =[

Posted by Julia on June 24, 2009 at 01:53 PM EDT #

Dang I wish I was old enough. Oh! wont you need old people to play the teachers and stuff? Lol, cant wait till suspicious! and Beautiful Disaster! I LOVE THE PRIVATE NOVELS! AND PRIVILEGE!

Posted by Anonymous on June 24, 2009 at 01:58 PM EDT #

Posted by taylor on June 24, 2009 at 03:29 PM EDT #

Posted by heather on June 24, 2009 at 04:45 PM EDT #

I LOVE THESE BOOKS! I cant get enough of them hahha. I went to the store because my mom finally let me and they DIDNT HAVE BEAUTIFUL DISASTER! ughhhh hate my life. hahh nott. does anybody know if there is a sneek preview of Suspicion in beautiful disaster..?

Posted by Lauren on June 24, 2009 at 05:01 PM EDT #

Oh and i was thinking about suspicion..maybe the book is like about either who pushed reed or maybe where reed is if she is still like missing. i dont know thats just what i think because like suspicion..i hope reed isnt missing though and i REALLY REALLY hope her and josh get back together! so there are my ramblings hahha. PLEASE POST FIRST CHAPTER OF SUSPICIONN!

Posted by Lauren on June 24, 2009 at 05:04 PM EDT #

hey kate! i would actually like it if you would write in your next blog that u do actually read the fans blogs cuz some of us have good ideas and i want to kno if u do actually read them!! <3 Heather <3's Kate Brian!

Posted by heather on June 24, 2009 at 05:30 PM EDT #

I love the cast but i really donnt think the girl playing arianna is not how i pictured her or pretty enough to be the way you wrote her.

Posted by Savannah on June 24, 2009 at 05:47 PM EDT #

i think the same thing about the girl playing arianna i pictured arianna more..... idk taller and thinner and less perky looking. the girl chosen to be arianna doesn't look like she could kill someone.

Posted by pksonone on June 24, 2009 at 05:57 PM EDT #

oh my gosh i would so so so so go there. but im only 14! and i dont get why ppl over 18 can only participate because it is supposed to be a school! :( im just saying cuz i am really mad and sad that i cant do it. i would love it if i could!! hopefully next time you guys will let ppl over 13 :)

Posted by jane on June 24, 2009 at 09:10 PM EDT #

Does anyone know when Suspicion the next private novel is coming out? please tell me cause i need to know. Thanks!

Posted by Ridley on June 24, 2009 at 10:12 PM EDT #

Oh that is not fair!!! If its a school why eighteen and older?! This soooo sucks! And most of the Private readers are 16 and younger. I wanna audition soooo bad! Sorry I got carried away! Good luck to all of you who make it.

Posted by Maggie on June 25, 2009 at 12:15 AM EDT #

hello, i love your books, there amazing. i mean there my faovrite <3 i hope the show is going well, but i don't think it's fair that you have to be 18 years or older to be part of that, it really isn't, but that's just my opition. k, thanks bye. keep writting.

Posted by Francesca on June 27, 2009 at 11:14 AM EDT #

what about TRAILER FOR THE SHOW?

Posted by JENNIFER on June 28, 2009 at 05:10 AM EDT #

Darn it!!! I'm only 13! I sooo wish i could be an extra in Private!! It would have rocked! Maybe by the time I'm 18 they will still be making the rest of The Private movies. Let's all cross our fingers!!!

Posted by Alex on June 28, 2009 at 12:50 PM EDT #

Hey, so you're making a show? I love the books, but I have to say, when a book is turned into a show, it usually isn't loved as much, by me anyway. I hope the show is just as amazing as the series, not that I'll have time to watch it, unless you put it online too(Hint-Hint). I just had a baby boy 4 months ago, so I'm busy busy! I hope your casting goes way better than Twilight, because that movie sucked hard-core! Anyway, your novels are great. They're the only thing that got me through my pregnancy, well that and ice-cream. Oh, how do you audition to be on the cover of a book? I may not be rich or snobby, but I could play one pretty well. (-;

Posted by Mercedes on July 01, 2009 at 03:19 PM EDT #

Heey Kate. OMG! You totally have to start a show for Private or even a movie. Private is the best series i have ever read. They are weren't the most popular at my school but then when i started to read them.. everyone started. I absolutly love the series. I will be so happy to see a movie. Thanks... bye <3

Posted by Rachel on July 03, 2009 at 09:04 PM EDT #

You have be over 18 because of liability and child labor laws only adults are allowed to be on the set and work the kind of hours it takes to put on a TV show unless they are stars, then they can have guardians and stuff, but that's why everyone in every high school show is always over 18 years old, it is also for maturity purposes.

Posted by Chris S on July 03, 2009 at 11:30 PM EDT #

I'm not 18 or older, but I'm in L.A. right now shooting a movie (it will be in film festivals! on the east and west coast!) and totally free for those dates! :( and I saw the 3 Kiran finalists. I am definitely like Janine...live in a small town in CT right near a private boarding school that I want to go to! lol. My sister might be interested in being an extra though..is 22 too old for that??

Posted by Rebecca on July 09, 2009 at 04:30 PM EDT #

this would be amazing if i was 18 :/ one year off, hah just my luck. i was curious as to when the show is going to start playing? i'm looking forward to it! i'm so impressed with what i've read so far, keep writing c: --alex

Posted by Alex on July 10, 2009 at 03:19 PM EDT #

Hey i don't really agree with the people playing Noelle, Josh and Thomas. not to be rude or crush anything but i had a feeling that Thomas should have a heavy New York accent and Noelle isn't blond. and Josh how r you going to die his hair blond and curly and when you do i don't think it would look good on him i really really am not trying to be mean i think it sounds really mean but im just giving my opinion. good luck to everybody i hope you do a good job.

Posted by Sammy on July 10, 2009 at 10:25 PM EDT #

aww dang. not 18.

Posted by Rebecca on July 12, 2009 at 12:55 PM EDT #

i suggest that those characters on your cover must play their role in private novel. i was expecting more of thomas pearson and josh hollis

Posted by Maria Leida Revuelta on July 12, 2009 at 10:46 PM EDT #

wow! i realy love ur books PRIVATE.u shouldd realy wrtie more cuz they r realy awsome i really wanted 2 noe wat happened on the end of REVALATION.
