FYI from the Greater Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky Film Commission.

Casting directors for Don Cheadle’s Miles Davis film – “Miles Ahead” – are looking for background extras (adults 21 and older), as well as cars from the late 1940s through the mid-1970s.

Applicants must be “available June through August 15.” 

Those interested should send a headshot, their full name, email address and phone number to [email protected].

With regards to needed cars, here’s what Cheadle is looking for specifically:

— A 1970s Jaguar XJS, preferably dark green.

— Taxis from the 1940s/’50s, and 1970s.

— A 1950s Cadillac convertible.

— Cars from 1965 through 1975.

Owners of cars fitting the descriptions should send a photo and contact information to [email protected].

Cheadle is both directing and starring in “Miles Ahead,” with Ewan McGregor and Zoe Saldana co-starring.

We’ll be interviewing Cheadle this afternoon, so look out for a published piece in the next week or so.
