Are you ready to make your mark on Atlanta's film and TV industry? Are you the next Tyler Perry? ATL is in need of young stars. Check out the Peach City's latest casting call for your chance at fame.

The CW series, which is a spinoff of "The Vampire Diaries," has been picked up for a fifth season. It follows the story of the first vampires, who are trying to retake New Orleans. "The Originals" stars Joseph Morgan, Daniel Gillies, Claire Holt and Charles Michael Davis.

What are they looking for?

New talent and experienced extras are needed as background extras and stand-ins.

When are they filming?

Filming is expected to start in Conyers at the end of July.

How much does it pay?

Pay is yet to be determined.

How do I submit?

Send an e-mail to mhc.originals@gmail.com. Include your name, phone number, email address, age, height/weight, all clothing sizes and measurements and your current city (distance to Conyers). You'll also need to provide three in-focus, color photos (unedited cell phone photos work great) with one showing your face and one your full body. If you'd like, you can also include information on your car (a photo, as well as its color, make, model and year) and any special skills or interesting experience you may have (dance, military, medical, musical or stand-in).

Finally, choose the subject line that best fits your situation:

  • Fresh Face – for those who have never worked on "The Originals"
  • Featured Repeat – for those who have previously worked on the show and been featured in a specific group (include a description of the group or scene in your email)
  • Repeat – for those who have worked on the show, but in more universal scenes, such as street pedestrians, New Orleans locals, etc.
