Dear Reader:
Punch-Out!! casting call hits Craigslist
Yet another strange/interesting Craigslist post…
EDP Casting is currently looking for Real People to portray characters from the classic video game “PUNCH-OUT!!” Please respond to EDPcasting@yahoo.com with a recent photo and best contact phone number. We will be setting up auditions over the next few days.
We are casting the following characters:
PISTON HONDA - Asian guy, preferably Japanese, late twenties to mid thirties. In good physical shape. In your submission please list your ethnicity, i.e. Chinese, Korean, etc. and please state if you have any martial arts or kick boxing experience.
KING HIPPO - Heavy set, bald, Polynesian, Samoan, Pacific Islander or Caucasian guy. 30 to mid forties
I wonder if Nintendo is involved with this in some way. I really hope they do a commercial for Punch-Out!! Wii, but I doubt it.
