Please be aware that we will be receiving hundreds of responses each week and, while we understand that you may have questions about the process, we cannot guarantee that we follow up with every response.

Casting Instructions:

Thank you for applying to be a contestant. To help you along with your application process, we’ve created this simple set of instructions and guidelines for submitting your application.

First off, you should relax and have fun with this! The main purpose of this video/DVD is for us to meet you, see what you are passionate about, and find out why you feel that you would be a great candidate to become The Ultimate Sportsman. It is generally best to ask a friend or professional to help you make the video. They can be in charge of camera operation and keeping track of your shots and camera angles so you can focus on being in front of the camera. In order to make the best video possible, set aside a few hours to give this project your undivided attention!

It is not mandatory that a casting video be submitted. We understand that not everyone has access to a video camera or has the capabilities to produce a Casting DVD. So, 2 recent pictures of yourself plus the application will work fine. Those submitting pictures that end as finalists will be contacted by the casting department for a personal interview. Applicants who have produced a Casting DVD will be taken into consideration!

THANK YOU AND HAVE FUN WITH THIS! We look forward to meeting and learning more about you.

Please submit Casting video/DVD in either Beta SP, Mini DV and DVD format or 2 recent pictures plus application no later than July 20^th, 2008 to:
