Hrmm … lets see here:
1. Chubby — check
2. Good looking — well, I can fake it really well
3. Charming — why, absolutely
4. Creative — sure
“(2) Applicants for the three main roles should be able (and willing) to sing, or at least hold a note. (3) Applicants for the three main roles should also be able (and willing) to dance.”
“Able and willing to sing” — depends, are there a lot of rain/shower/water scenes? I sound well with the water + bathroom tile acoustics.
“should also be able (and willing) to dance.” — if its anything more than the twist … I’m f*ked.
Actually — I should reprise my role in Grease that I did for highschool …. ah, those were the days……

darkwolf:
You can go do Dubai, and just stand around while they film any one of the Indian movies — its the same thing. People walking down the street, and all of a sudden — its dance fever.
Reminds me of Russell Peters joke.
