A not so tall tale.

I'm too tall to be a Hobbit. :( I never thought I'd be too tall for anything!

According to theonering.net, casting auditions for short/ tall people  (to act as doubles in widescreen shots, not as extras) have taken place in New Zealand today.

Tall & Small Casting in Christchurch

Film scouts hunt for Dunedin hobbits - (not to be mistaken for the Dúnedain)

The requirements:

MEN: Ages 17-55
Height: 4 FT 2 (128cm) – 5 FT 2 (158cm) AND
Height: 6 FT 11 (210cm) and over.

WOMEN: Aged 17-55
Height: 4 FT 2 (128cm) – 5 FT (153cm)

[Btw - the average height for a Hobbit is 3ft6]

Maybe I can still try-out to be a goblin or something...
