What could a role on one of Fox's most popular Primetime dramas do to help you get your BIG break in Hollywood? ... I'll let you go there and read about it, but a bit of it is that it's submitting a video of the script they supply, it will be internet voting, they'll fly you out to LA!!!! Wow!!

Sorry, I posted that you would be paid, but when I re-read the rules it said that you would NOT be paid!

Excellent! Thanks for the post!

You have to be 18

Anyway, I really hope someone from here wins!

wait... why is it so simple? is it legit?

Huh. That's very interesting. Cam and Fisher are the only 2 characters, though? Weird.

It looks legit to me, although I'd never heard of the site before. I've read through rules and there's all kinds of legal mumbo jumbo about BONES and FOX ... The script is a snippet from the show where the grad student Fisher is down on himself and Cam tells him she'll get him a Kierkegaard t-shirt. I've looked at some of the videos that are already out there ...

I'd like to submit one. A girl (hh-hm, old lady) can dream can't she?? The nightmare on the other side of the dream is that my video would surface somewhere like those American Idol tryout clips do!

I told my hubby about it and it looks like you have to upload it and then get your friends and family to vote for it, too. I was annoyed about that part... that it's not based on your talent... but my hubby is determined to do it. He wants to do a green screen thingy... so we'll see if I try it. We'll see.

And DBCrazy, you should try it anyway. I've actually got the opposite problem, in a way... I am 24 but I look closer to 16 and I wonder if anyone would take me seriously. LOL. They might write the script with a lot of jokes like they told about poor Sweets in the beginning if I won. lol. Oh well.

hmm, my problem is that I'll never be able to get to the US to do it...

oh to land a role on bones...........how wonderful that would be.......but then after seeing me.........i would get all famous and stuff.......and then never be able to go out and do normal things without the paparazzi all around me with the cameras........oh what a horrible life.......lol

Hehehe, bizzle, you have the best sense of humor! LOL

I think David wouldn't think his life is horrible. It seems like that whole cast keeps out of the papparazzi life. I mean it seems most prime time actors do... I don't hear much about House actors either, and even less of Bones' actors. So i don't think you would have the papparazzi all over you unless. You partied all the time, forgot to wear panties and/or you get married then divorced, then married again and then have babies. Cause Hollywoods obsessed with who's having who's baby and such...

If anybody enters, let us know and the full force of the ABY will vote for you!!!

Would it just be incredibly unfair for me to enter? LOL

No go for it...you already have the experience!!

I *AM* an actor, right? LOL Oh, how I wish I were a real actor. *sigh* I miss L.A.

Meg, enter!!

I hear you Forensic... I'm 22 and could easily pass for a 15 year old. As for it being legit, if it was wouldn't be promoted on fox somehow, whether on TV or on their website? IDK, I don't know how it works. I know most scripts are usually done with 2 characters so that the person auditioning has someone else to work off of.

It's legit. It doesn't have to be advertised on Fox to be legit. The auction I won wasn't promoted by Fox or anything.

Yeah, it's legit alright. Take a look at the site, there's a clip of TJ, Michaela and Tamara introducing the contest. You'll find a script too, short and sweet ... well, not so sweet. I just looked and so far there are 49 entries!

I downloaded the script. I've been practicing it.
I'm somewhere between going for it and chickening out !!!!

How about you Mama? Are you and your hubby gonna make an entry???

You should go for it! I might go her it too! I mean it's not like American Idol and you aren't going acting infront of Simon Cowell. that would be worse, i think!

Thanks for the encouragement, TearDrops. I tell ya, I wouldn't so much as hum for Simon Cowell!

I was a theatre major in college, I've done some community theatre too, so I've auditioned for stuff before. You go up, your heart is racing, your knees are knocking, and by the time you get to sit back down your hands are shaking for the next hour. - But it's OVER! You'll either get the part, or you won't!

This video - you finally talk yourself into doing it, then anybody can CLICK and take a look. And then ... oh, never mind. I'm trying to talk myself into it and talk myself out of it at the same time. Nerves!! Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em!

I would do it, but I have absolutely no acting skillz. XD I'm too nervous.

Well, what I'm sitting here doing right now is practicing the script. If I do it (!?!?!) it'll be me doing both parts, something like those crazy comics do when they have a conversation by themselves.

I wanted to make the two voices very distinguishable, so I've got Fisher being some kind of brit-aussie something-or-other. I've probably butchered it to pieces, but at least it's easier to listen to than the way it went on the show - Fisher was so dead-pan. Who wants that to live on the internet forever??

Guys anyone who's interested should go for it, you never know!
