'Lord Of The Rings' Casting Odd-Looking People To Play Monsters

Although it kind of makes sense, one has to wonder if this delivers a blow to people who consider themselves 'odd'.

On the other hand, it's an easy way to make some money, so maybe it all works out for the best.

So we all know there's a new 'Lord Of The Rings' series coming out, right?

If you didn't well, hello there! How was it all those months under that rock?

But yes, there is a series coming to us in which we will revisit the beauty that is the world of Lord of The Rings.

And recently, they've been doing some casting.

They're going to stay in New Zealand (just like the movies) but the problem is with a population of less than 5 million, the company is having trouble finding people to round out the cast.

However they have some very specific requirements.

They're looking for either really tall or really short people (under 5ft4 or over 6ft5), they're looking for people with red hair...

They're pretty much looking for people who look out of the ordinary.

But keep this in mind before you apply...

Imagine you get the job?

From then on you'll always know there was some Hollywood producer looking at your headshot and going "Oh, yes, this person looks really freaking odd. Let's get them".
