People always ask me, “Greg, how can I be on Disney Channel?” and I usually say something like “Move to Hollywood, find an agent, and audition. Or, wait for an open casting call in your area – they do that sometimes.” Well, now is one of those times! Disney is looking for actors and actresses ages 10-18 the weekend after next in Kansas City, Missouri. If you think you’ve got what it takes, talk to your parents now and do what it takes to get there!
The official Disney press release follows. (My emphasis has been added to certain key parts).
