LITTLE ROCK, AR - Auditions are open for the movie "Greater," which will feature the life of Arkansas Offensive Lineman Brandon Burlsworth.
The auditions are being held at the Northwest Arkansas Mall in Fayetteville through Sunday, March 17th. Although some parts have already been cast, the part of Brandon is still up for grabs.
The casting director is also looking for thousands of die-hard Hog fans to be extras for football games and other scenes.
Burlsworth was as walk-on for the Razorbacks who became an All-American. He died in a car accident in Arkansas days after being drafted by the Indianapolis Colts in 1999. A trophy in his name is given each year to the nation's best walk-on football player.
