If you haven't already heard, George Clooney will be coming to town to film a flick "Up In The Air", and extra casting took place this past weekend at Crestwood Mall. The mall was packed with every kind of person looking to steal a spot in the background, and hoping to get a glimpse at Mr. Clooney himself.

Approximately 8,000 St. Louisans lined the mall anxiously awaiting to meet with the casting directors. I caught up with some of the hopefuls as they waited patiently for their chance at stardom. If you weren't able to make it out yourself, you can still send your pic and application to participate in the flick that will begin filming in March.

Have you ever been to a casting call for a movie or play?  What was it like and what did you get from the experience?
