TV on TV action

This looks legit. If anyone goes for it and becomes rich and famous, remember me!

Dear Becky,

hi how are you? A bit of a random request I am currently casting and producing a new Channel 5 detective series. I am specifically looking for a transvestite to appear as one of the main parts in one of the episodes. It is paid work and great experience. I have attached a flyer if you or anyone else you know wants one. We are holding a casting day this Thursday in central London, please do get in contact with me asap.

The flyer says:

EVER WANTED TO BE ON TV?

New detective series for major channel needs you!

No previous acting experience necessary. We need your enthusiasm, your energy, your emotion and your TALENT for real life drama!!!

If you think you can rise the challenge, call now to find out when the next London casting is.

NH OK, I'm going to wear my professional hat here and say I'd treat this with just as much suspicion as every other TV production company who want to do a programme involving trannies. So it's a detective series and they want to feature a tranny...why not hire an actor? Why do they want a real tranny other than to pay you peanuts and save on the wardrobe costs? Ask for a copy of the script, ask how much budget they've got, look up that company's record and check out their previous credits and ask to meet the director and producer first.
