Want to be a Hobbit extra?

For those aspiring to be elves, orcs, or dwarfs, casting for extras on the two Hobbit films has begun. Some caveats:

• You must be able to work legally in New Zealand.
• You can't be picky.

"Do not bother to tell them what you think you'd be most suitable at (hobbit, elf, human, orc)," said Mr Machiela, who worked for five days on King Kong as an extra. "Most people will want to be a hobbit or an elf anyway, but will end up being an orc or a dead dwarf, and in the background".
