Do You Have What It Takes To Be Katherine Heigl's Hand Double?
Are you a white female between the ages of 25 and 35 with exquisite hands? At any point while watching Knocked Up, 27 Dresses or The Killers, did you think to yourself, "My fingers look remarkably similar to the lead actress's?" If you answered "yes" to both of those questions, you may have what it takes to land the coveted role as Katherine Heigl's hand double on her next feature film.
Movieline just noticed a new casting flier for Julie Anne Robinson's adaptation of the Janet Evanovich novel One for the Money, and if you're the lucky winner, your hands could be those of Stephanie Plum, an unemployed lingerie buyer turned bounty hunter. Interesting, right? (As long as Heigl doesn't hate your hands in retrospect.)
Here are the job requirements:
· No hand scars.
· No hand tattoos.
· No chewed fingernails.
· Fair skin.
· No prior hand double experience necessary.
· Flexible schedule between now and September.
· Oh yeah, and you must live in Pittsburgh.
If you meet all of these qualifications (or are willing to fly to Pittsburgh for three months and pay for your own laser tat removal), then please apply to Nancy Mosser Casting.
If chosen, you will be paid with a free manicure that exactly resembles Katherine's. Good luck! And remember, there are no small parts. Just small...hands?

This is just the first casting call. Next will be "feet" and then "hair" and so on...
The strategy is this> If Heigl's face isn't in frame why subject everyone to the pain of having her on set.
Sunnydaze: Sorry but Heigl is not difficult on set at all. Never has been. Everyone she has every worked with has said - even those who she may have offended afterwards. In fact normally it is the exact opposite - directors, co-stars, extras all speak about how nice she is. The only people who don't are the media who paint her as some kind of evil witch because she is too honest for her own good.
Yeah, but what's funny about being nice?
You have to be careful what you say at that kind of audition. I told the casting agent that I was here about the hand job and she slapped me.
Same thing happened when I asked the nun if I could apply for a missionary position.
Can you raise your middle finger? You're hired.
HA! Brilliant.
what I wonder about is why she needs a hand double at all. There's certainly nothing in the book that requires such. I mean typically they use hand doubles for things like insert shots of playing the piano, when you need to make sure the playing matches the music. and the person isn't a real virtuoso player.
And it's not like a couple of insert shots are that time consuming on set that it would be a put out for katherine to do them.
honestly this sounds like it's all ego. Same as when Keira Knightley wanted a butt double for her lap dance in Domino.
And exactly which sets were you working on to have this knowledge.
Cause I work in the industry and let me tell you something generally speaking, everyone lies about the shite that goes down on set. Total Vegas Rule.
You should think twice about gettin pets, you are not a reliable pet owner. Would you leave a child to fend themself for the full 3 weeks alone? No? Well cats and any animals are the same.
