New York City - Well, if you are looking for your 15 minutes or more of fame, then Grant Wifley Casting (GWC) may be able to help. The well-known casting company is searching for local talent in The Hamptons for numerous upcoming productions.

The USA television series "Royal Pains" returns to the Hamptons this May, and after a successful freshman year, the Hamptons-set series will return to shoot several scenes in the area. Specifically GWC is looking to cast a Hamptons estate party with real upscale Hamptonites to create the genuine high-society vibe, real golfers to appear in an exclusive golf course scene, and flexible yoga practitioners for a yoga studio scene.

Also filming in the Hamptons is the new feature film called "Something Borrowed," based on the best-selling novel. The film, starring Ginnifer Goodwin of "Big Love" and Kate Hudson, will shoot in May and June.

Both productions have contracted GWC to coordinate and cast all background performers.

"We welcome the local well-heeled community to get involved as background players," said Grant Wilfley, Hampton resident and president of Grant Wilfley Casting, Inc.

Both projects are seeking locals to play wealthy vacationers, upscale Hamptonites, young and attractive bar patrons, boaters (those who are comfortable on the water) and beach-goers.

Anyone interested should email a recent picture, stats (height and weight), and contact information to hamptons@gwcnyc.com. Be sure to put "Hamptons Local" in the subject line, and include your union status (SAG/AFTRA/Non-Union), as well as the role for which you are submitting, and if you own a luxury vehicle, including year, make, model and color) in the body of your email.

GWC has provided background casting for numerous other Hamptons productions, including "The Nanny Diaries," "Something's Gotta Give," "Door in the Floor," "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," "Pollock" and "Deep Impact."

For almost 20 years, GWC has been providing exceptional casting services to the New York film and television industry. Directors such as Martin Scorsese ("The Departed" and "Shutter Island"), Robert De Niro ("The Good Shepherd"), Steven Spielberg ("Catch Me If You Can," "Munich" and "The Terminal"), Oliver Stone ("World Trade Center" and "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps") and Michael Patrick King ("Sex & the City" and "Sex & the City 2") have relied on their expertise.
