Months ago I saw some gentlemen dining in the cantina of Los Cuates on Lomas with killer dreads. I REALLY wanted to jet over and tell them to get their butts into the casting offices for The Book Eli.
I didn’t – and now every day I wonder about those foxy dreads that may never get their big break and it’s all on me for not spreading the love.
Well, here’s another chance for them and YOU! The book of Eli is once again casting all kinds, esp. those with the long webs of locks.
