Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 4,918 Likes: 71 | BMS that makes Erbitux and other drugs is looking for people to appear in some TV ads. You won't get to talk exactly about what you want, (almost certainly not OCF) though your personal story is part of the deal. But these are spots of survivors ( within certain parameters listed on the following link that will be used to sell their drugs. So nothing in it for OCF, but hey you get to be a paid TV person, and get a SAG card for about 600 dollars a day. Info is here on this link http://elitecastingnetwork.com/auditions/NATIONAL_TV_COMMERCIAL__3
Brian, stage 4 oral cancer survivor. OCF Founder and Director. The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant.

Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,082 | Well at least the TV casting agency was upfront that nobody over the age of 50 need apply. Really brings home how head and neck cancer is hitting a much younger demographic than ever before.
I hope an OCF poster is selected, we certainly have an articulate and personable pool of under 50s to select from
