To Maultsby family: Be ready for when your call comes!

CHAPEL HILL (MCT) — Town Council candidate Augustus Cho has landed an acting job in a major movie being filmed in New Orleans.

Cho said he will play the role of a North Korean leader in the movie "G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation," which stars Brue Willis, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Channing Tatum, among others.

The movie, a sequel to "G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra," which was released in 2009, is schedule to hit theaters in June 2012.

Before Tuesday, few people knew that Cho is an actor, and he said he wanted to keep it that way to keep his professional life separate from his political life.

But Cho said in an interview Tuesday that keeping his acting career secret is no longer an option because of the magnitude of the film.

"This is the biggest role of my career in terms of casting," Cho said.

Cho publicly announced landing the role Tuesday in a statement read by his campaign manager Melody Parrish during a candidates' forum sponsored by Community Empowerment Fund, EmPOWERment, The Jackson Center, NAACP and Neighbors for Responsible Growth.

"As this statement is being read to you, I am in the city of New Orleans with a role in an upcoming Hollywood movie distributed by Paramount Pictures," Cho said in the statement.

He said he will monitor the news and developments in Chapel Hill "in between shoots and break time."

While the movie is the largest project of his acting career, Cho also appeared in an episode of the popular HBO series "Eastbound and Down."

He has also appeared in television commercials and print advertising.

Cho, one of nine candidates vying for four seats on town council, said he will be in New Orleans for the next two weeks and return to the Crescent City in November for additional filming.

Patty Strader, president of Wilmington-based Maultsby Model and Talent Agency, which represents Cho, said he is a great actor who is headed for great things.

"We really prize him here," Strader said. "He is really talented. He's gone up the ladder quickly and this will definitely lead to some bigger roles."
 

Congratulations to Mark Tallman for his role on Damages in the role of Robert Franks. 

"This is me shooting out on location on the set of Damages in my role as Robert Franks, a special ops soldier who works with a contracting group over in Afghanistan...the guy with me is Jack Gwaltney, who plays the role of Thomas Lowry."

Maultsby Talent NY's Ashley Shelton tells us of her experience on Army Wives:

I have to be honest when I arrived on set I expected to be in a holding room next to a table with Doritos and coffee, waiting all day for a PA to call my name, not that anytime I get to spend on a set is unappreciated but its a waiting game sometimes. But what I experienced was quite the opposite! I was treated like a queen by the wonderful crew of Army Wives. Everyone was SO nice and knew my name, it was like a dream. I also expected super long days on set, but the Army Wives crew works fast to get things done and get the cast and crew home to their families at the end of the night. It really is a family atmosphere on their set and I am very blessed that I got to be apart of their niche in Charleston for 2 great days! I would love to go back to the Hump Bar again as Karen, until then they have definitely gained a fan!

Maultsby Talent NY's actor Jeff Joslin talks about "Carjacked"...

Back in the middle of November 2010, I got the opportunity from an agent in Baton Rouge, LA to tape an audition for a Supporting Role on the feature film Carjacked as Maria Bello's no count ex-husband. I've taped several of these over the years with Maultsby Talent, so I didn't think much about it when I sent it in. Around December 2nd I get an email that the production wanted to check my availability for Dec. 7th. I told them of course but because of travel, I needed a good advance notice. Long story short, that didn't happen. I was notified via email on Dec. 6th by the agent, a little before noon that I was booked to shoot the one day scene on Tuesday Dec. 7th. So I scrambled to find a flight out of NYC, due to the weather at that time, none were available with less that a 12-14 hour layover. So I checked BWI. Yes, a flight leaving at 5:30 pm which was at least 3 1/2 hours from me in Weehawken, NJ. I left at 1:00 pm, made to BWI at 4:15 pm. Needless to say I was anxious. All went well, shot it and returned home on December 8th.

Maultsby Talent NY's actor Jeff Joslin talks about "Army Wives"...

I had the opportunity a short time later in the middle of December, with Maultsby Talent to tape an audition for possible recurring role on Army Wives as CSM Hector Diaz. I didn't see myself as that character and I thought they were looking an ethnic character. I passed on it. The next week, the Army Wives Casting Director, resent the role through Maultsby Talent and said don't worry about the character name just send in a tape. I liked role and decided well, there is Cameron Diaz, so I can act like I'm her military relative... haha.. I decided to do my best so that if I didn't get this role, I would at least be noticed for another role. I did the research on the the Army rankings and the relationship to the person in the scene, lead Army Wife Wendy Davis, "Lt. Col. Joan Burton". I taped the scene and didn't think much about it. The day before Christmas I get a call from Maultsby Talent saying I booked the role. I was elated that this was the second booking off of a taped audition. When I arrived on set the first day, I met both directors of the two scenes I was going to shoot. They told me I nailed it and was exactly what they wanted and had the look they wanted. The Casting Director found me on set and told me, they had told him when they sent out the casting, they didn't want a caucasian character for this role but my audition was so spot on that they decided to change the character's name to CSM Dennis Devlin. So don't discount any audition. Do one so well they want you so bad they'll do whatever they can to book you.
