Graham ChapmanDo you fancy yourself as a bit of a Python look-alike?  The Hollywood producers of the movie version of Graham Chapman's life story have announced that they will be holding open auditions.  The film, which is called Gin & Tonic is expected to start filming later this year, and the producer Hippofilms is looking for young look-alike actors to play the parts of the members of Monty Python.

Auditions begin in Los Angeles next month, with directors expected to come to London later.

Eric Brenner, president of Hippofilms, said: "Our goal isn't just to find six lookalikes, but talented performers who embody that Pythonic brilliance and lunacy. We want these auditions to be fun, somewhat silly affairs that Graham would be proud of."

If you're a young actor (aged 18-35) and think you fit the bill, then visit the Official Website for more information.
