Dark Park Studios announces the “Celebrity du Jour” win a walk-on role competition for it’s new comedy series, The Agency.

Los Angeles Actors – Spill your guts and you could appear on an episode of “Dark Park Studios’, The Agency”. Airing Thursday Nights, 9pm.

Hollywood, CA, October 29, 2010 — “The Agency”, Dark Park Studios’ newly launched digital series kicks off their next round of auditions with a little… healthy competition. Los Angeles based Actors are invited to win a “walk on role” tailored specially for them.

Dark Park Studios announced today that they will begin holding their next round of auditions in an all too unorthodox way. Keeping in style with their mockery of the elite entertainment world, Dark Park Studios will cast a lucky actor in a special role tailored to them. All that actor has to do is – spill their guts. Tell Dark Park about your silliest, sickest, most outrageous story or moment related to the entertainment industry (that happened to you personally) and you could appear on an episode of “The Agency”.

“The Agency” aired their first episode on September 30th, 2010. Since then, the YouTube community has been positively responding to the premium content playing on the online video giant’s site. Youtuber Tiffani232323 says, “This show makes me laugh hard”. Youtuber kanefiveonesix says, “Damn funny”. Youtuber WaltersTalent says, “This looks great, Entourage meets The Office with a lot more fun.”

“There are more actors in LA then there are roles”, stated Creator/Star Dianna Renée. “Since we are an “Actor Created” series, we came up with “Celebrity du Jour” to allows us the opportunity to involve more than just the typical “guest stars” in our show. I’m still, however, working on a way to cast every single actor I meet – it’ll happen some day.”

“We feel it’s important for a digital show to interact with their audience. Interaction really is the future of all story-driven, original content.”, said Creator/Producer Michael Korbic. “Dark Park Studios is going beyond the basics and actually integrating our viewers into the show.”

Starting immediately, Dark Park is taking submissions for the Celebrity du Jour competition via Facebook. On Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/darkparkstudios), actors can upload their story in the form of video or text. The competition is on-going with Season 1, Round 1 ending December 6tht. Several new “Celebrity du Jour’s” will appear per season. One caveat, you must be a Los Angels based actor to compete.

The Agency, Episode 5 “Party Like A Rockstar”, Airs Thursday Night, October 28th at 9pm. Watch at http://www.youtube.com/darkparkstudios.

“The Agency is a digital series brought to life by actors for actors”, stated Producer Daniel Bort. “We’re figuring out new ways every day to involve more and more people. “Celebrity du Jour” is just the beginning.”

“The Agency” is a new, original comedy series based upon the busy world of an upscale talent agency in Hollywood. Power agents, struggling celebrities and conniving ladder climbers are all seen through the eyes of a fresh new intern, Lauren, played by Dianna Renée.

“The Agency” launched via youtube.com September 30th, it stars Academy Award Nominated Actress Sally Kirkland and a gang of young actors headed by Scott Lunsford, Michael Masini, Mary Bonner Baker and Dianna Renée.
