Be an extra in 'The Judge' with Vincent D'Onofrio!
THE RECORDER
“We start filming June 3,” he said. “We’ll be filming Monday through Friday, about 12 to 14 days in Shelburne Falls.”
SHELBURNE FALLS — Wanna’ be an extra in “The Judge”?
Boston Casting Inc. will hold an open casting call for Shelburne Falls area residents for scenes that are to be shot for the movie this summer.
The casting call will be held next Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Buckland Town Hall, at 17 State St.
The audition is open to residents 18 years old and older, and the casting company is looking for all types of people, but asks that no children be brought to this audition.
“We will be filling in with people in the background,” explained Greg Bull, an extras casting director with Boston Casting. “We will want people in the background, walking on the streets or being in the shops — regular people doing what they’re doing.”
“We start filming June 3,” he said. “We’ll be filming Monday through Friday, about 12 to 14 days in Shelburne Falls.”
He said a casting call will also be held in Boston on May 18, and that the reason for holding both on the same date is so that the local casting call will be mostly for local people.
“It’s your town, and we’re guests, and want you guys to be involved,” he said. “It’s also a chance for us to meet the local people.”
Boston Casting asks those auditioning to bring photos of themselves to the audition. If you don’t have printed photos of yourself, an electronic image could be emailed to Boston Casting, said Bull.
Boston Casting is also looking for cars and pickup trucks for film scenes, with models from the 1980s up through 2000. Those who have a vehicle for consideration are asked to provide a clear photo of it.
Boston Casting is a 22-year-old company that has cast principal actors and extras for several movies, including “Labor Day,” which was partially filmed in Shelburne Falls last summer.
The latest Warner Bros. movie, “The Judge,” will star Robert Downey Jr. It is a drama about a successful lawyer (Downey) who comes home for his mother’s funeral and learns that his estranged father is a murder suspect. The all-star cast is to include Robert Duvall, Vera Farmiga, Leighton Meester and Vincent d’Onofrio.

Bobby Goren background...
Some of you may have heard Bobby Goren was like a modern day Sherlock Holmes but his character was actually based on this man...
Park Dietz, MD, PhD, MPH (born 1948), is a forensic psychiatrist who has consulted or testified in many of the highest profile US criminal cases including Jeffrey Dahmer, The Unabomber, the Beltway sniper attacks, and Jared Lee Loughner. He came to national prominence in 1982 during his five days of testimony as the prosecution’s expert witness in the trial of John Hinckley, Jr., for his attempted assassination of President Reagan on March 30, 1981. Then an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, Dietz testified that at the time of the shooting, Hinckley knew what he was doing, knew it was wrong, and had the capacity to control his behavior thus was not legally insane.
Dietz is also a criminologist, and in 1987 he created the specialty of workplace violence prevention in founding Threat Assessment Group, Inc. (TAG), which specializes in analyzing and managing threatening behavior and communications, stalking, risks arising from domestic violence, and other abnormal activity in corporations, colleges, and schools. As of 2013, more than 20,000 senior corporate managers have attended TAG training seminars.
A separate company, Park Dietz & Associates (PD&A), is a forensic consulting firm specializing in criminal behavior analysis, forensic psychiatry, forensic psychology and other forensic sciences, serving prosecutors, criminal defense attorneys, and attorneys representing defendants and plaintiffs in civil litigation. PD&A’s national roster of experts includes physicians, psychologists, and retired FBI agents with wide expertise on the forensic aspects of fields as diverse as neurology, social work and pathology. Both TAG and PD&A are headquartered in Southern California with PD&A having a second office in Washington, D.C.
The Los Angeles Times called Dietz, “America’s best-known forensic psychiatrist.” On the TV crime drama Law and Order: Criminal Intent, the detective Robert Goren (played by Vincent D’Onofrio) is based on Dietz, who also served as a forensic consultant to that show and the original Law & Order series. A 2006 profile of Dietz in the British national newspaper The Independent quoted him as saying that both he and the Goren character possess, “idiot savant knowledge of obscure things that pop up in relation to crimes.”

Scouting continues for 'The Judge'
THE RECORDER
Shelburne Selectman Joseph Judd said film production representatives are meeting with the Shelburne Board of Selectmen on Monday night at 7:45 p.m. He said the purpose was to discuss the particulars of the new Shelburne Falls film permit with film production representatives and for selectmen to ask them questions about “what they’re going to be doing while here,” Judd said. He stressed that nothing is definite at this point.
SHELBURNE FALLS — A parked Peter Pan bus near the Glacial Potholes and a crowd of sunglass-wearing, baseball-capped visitors Thursday did not herald the annual return of tourists, but the start of scouting for a new Hollywood feature film.
On Wednesday and Thursday, film scouts and production workers with notebooks marked “The Judge — trial run” visited shop merchants, toured buildings, and even went on rooftops to consider possible camera angles, according to some people.
“The Judge” is the name of the Warner Bros. film, with an all-star cast that is to include Robert Downey Jr., “Up in the Air” star Vera Farmiga, Robert Duvall, Vincent D’Onofrio and Billy Bob Thornton, among others.
The plot of this drama/comedy is about a lawyer (Downey) who goes back to his small hometown for his mother’s funeral and learns that his estranged father (Duvall) is a murder suspect.
Although filming in Shelburne Falls has not yet been announced, it is an open secret around town that film staff has made inquiries about housing and other issues, for tentative filming in June. The production company is unofficially lining up extras.
When asked if the movie will be shot in the village, a stunt coordinator with the film crew, said “yes,” and that a local production office would be set up. “You need to talk to someone else about this,” he added.
Shelburne Selectman Joseph Judd said film production representatives are meeting with the Shelburne Board of Selectmen on Monday night at 7:45 p.m. He said the purpose was to discuss the particulars of the new Shelburne Falls film permit with film production representatives and for selectmen to ask them questions about “what they’re going to be doing while here,” Judd said. He stressed that nothing is definite at this point.
Diane Pearlman, executive director of the Berkshire Film and Media Commission, declined comment.
Also, Fred DeVecca of the Memorial Hall Association said the production crew had inquired about using Memorial Hall’s upstairs theater for prop storage and as a waiting place for film extras, as was done last year for “Labor Day.” However, no definite agreement was reached.
He said film representatives asked for a tour of the town hall roof.
It was only last June that the picturesque village became the setting for a major Hollywood film, called “Labor Day,” and starring Josh Brolin and Kate Winslet. That film is slated for release this year, although an official release date has not been announced.
In “Labor Day,” Keystone Market, Rethreads clothing store, Greenfield Savings Bank and the back facade of Good Spirits liquor store all provided settings for some of the film scenes.
