Ever see that episode of ‘Freaks And Geeks’ where James Franco dresses all punk to impress this punk girl that works at a convenience store? Franco keeps insisting that he’s a ‘punker’ and saying the word ‘punker’ over and over. It cracked me up and it actually could turn into a good drinking game.

Anyway, this is a casting call for pilot looking for ‘hip’ and ‘punk’. Not sure if you get any bonus points for saying ‘punker’ in your audition.

CHECK IT OUT!
