Casting call: 'Copperhead' seeking more extras in OKC for Momoa, Teller film
Locals are getting more opportunities to play small parts in the making of up-and-coming Oklahoma filmmaker John Swab 's star-studded crime thriller "Copperhead." Freihofer Casting is seeking two Indigenous men to be extras on the movie. They will play tribal police officers during the movie's Oct. 26-27 filming in Oklahoma City. Norman-based casting director Chris Freihofer's company also has issued a call for a 6-foot-3-inch-tall Caucasian man needed for multiple days as a stand-in on the project. "Copperhead" is the latest homegrown movie from Swab, a Tulsa native known for making several hard-hitting crime dramas in his hometown, including "Body Brokers ," "Little Dixie" and "One Day as a Lion ." It stars Miles Teller ("Top Gun: Maverick"), Jason Momoa ("Supergirl"), Tenoch Huerta ("Black Panther: Wakanda Forever"), Adria Arjona ("Andor") and Primetime Emmy Award winner Kiefer Sutherland ("24"). Production on "Copperhead ," which started filming in September in various OKC locales, was underway on Tuesday, Oct. 21, in downtown, with the requisite lights, cameras, action — along with Momoa, Swab, other cast and crew, extras, police cars and a crane. Portions of Robert S. Kerr and North Broadway avenues around the set were shut down Tuesday afternoon for the production.
