Wanted: Extras for Johnny Depp movie

The Johnny Depp film "Public Enemies" is looking for a few good extras.

Auditions for non-speaking roles in the film will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday at the Italian Conference Center, 631 E. Chicago St.

"Public Enemies" -- which is set in the 1930s, and in which Depp will play John Dillinger -- will begin shooting in Wisconsin in mid-March. Auditions were held in Madison last month.

The requirements for the audition are rather specific.

First, the casting directors are looking for "people with great faces."

Men should no taller than 6'1" and women no taller than 5'8'' and no larger than size 12. Men should wear a dark suit, overcoat and dress shoes. Hair should be kept long. Women should wear a dark dress or skirt and sweater, overcoat and medium heel. Women are advised to set hair in curlers the night before and come to the audition with their hair brushed out. Also, if you're going, you need to bring a recent color photograph of yourself.
