Sony Pictures search for teen Adam Sandler look-alikes and additional co-starring roles

Click Here for an important update regarding the talent search for the role of "Young Donny" or the "Young Adam Sandler look-alike". Thanks to all who showed up for the open casting calls. Email submissions now being accepted.

The upcoming Sony Pictures feature film "Donny Boy" is holding open casting calls and accepting email submissions from teen boys who can play either 13 or 18 year old versions of Adam Sandler. The candidates MUST look exactly like these young versions of Adam Sandler. Additional co-starring and supporting roles are also available.

The films stars include Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, James Caan, Vanilla Ice and Leighton Meester. The picture is about a cantankerous father who moves in with his son and his son's gold-digger fiancee just before the son is to get married. The father and fiancee quickly become terribly embroiled in conflict

Sean Anders and John Morris are directing from a script originally written by TV comedy writer David Caspe, who recently signed a two year production deal with Sony Pictures Television. Caspe is creator/head writer on the upcoming Sony Pictures Television TV series "Happy Endings," which premiers April 13, 2011 on ABC. "Wanderlust" writers David Wain and Ken Marino were brought in to rewrite the "I Hate You, Dad" script.

Adam Sandler, Heather Parry, and Jack Giarraputo will produce under the banner of their company Happy Madison Productions. The company's production office is located in the Judy Garland building on the Sony Pictures Studios lot in Culver City, CA, Barry Bernardi and director John Morris will executive produce.

Here is what the casting directors are seeking:

Young Donny #1: Adam Sandler at age 13 yrs old. Must be 13-14 years old. Young Adam tries to ask a girl he likes to a Springsteen concert and besides getting turned down, gets beaten up. That's when his teacher, Miss McGarricle, comes to his aid and he asks her out instead. The scene ends with young Donny having an amazing date and getting to have sex with his teacher.

Young Donny #2: Adam Sandler at 18 yrs old. Older and now a father (not a very good one either), Donny is forced to have to take on the role of true fatherhood when his father gets fed up and Leaves him to fend for himself.

For both of these roles, they need absolute DEAD-RINGER LOOK ALIKES for Adam Sandler at these ages.
