Central Casting is on Twitter. Their bio:

We are Central Casting! The leading background actors casting company in the United States since 1925! And these are our tweets:)

So charming!

The New York Observer noticed some great casting-call tweets for HBO’s Girls. So I dug through the company’s NY and LA feeds from the last three years and found all the best casting calls. Some are funny, some just evoke a great story. (If you look like a “hipster” you could be an extra in everything. Same if you are a baby.)

In New York:
