‘The Walking Dead’ is Filming in Boston & Looking for Massachusetts Zombie Extras

AMC is set to begin filming the new season of "The Walking Dead: Dead City" in Boston next month and producers are looking for YOU... if it's your dream to play a zombie extra on the show. Your name may not go up in lights but you may get a tiny mention in the credits, that's good enough for me!

I have come to realize that MANY people have the same dream as me - to play a dead person on TV. I always thought I was weird for wanting to appear while laying on the ground, tongue out, eyes rolled to the back of my head on a TV show like Law & Order or NCIS. Hell, I'd even play a dead person on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives if Guy Fieri wanted to step over me while entering an eatery to shout about Flavor Town and tater tots. Over the years I have found many people who have the same desire. The following news will be very exciting to my fellow group of fake-dead-TV-wannabe's:

Kendall Cooper Casting put out an open casting call for zombie extras on Wednesday, searching for people of all ages and ethnicities to play “walkers, soldiers, post apocalyptic survivors, and various other extra roles” during filming of Season 2 of the “Walking Dead” spinoff which begins filming in Boston next month.

So start working on your zombie gutterals and APPLY HERE! I hope you get a part... me too. If you make it look for me on set, I'll be the one... uhhh.... trying to be a zombie like everyone else, I guess.

Oh and while we're talking about Massachusetts Zombies... here's 8 things every LIVING Massachusetts resident needs to do before they become a *gulp* Massachusetts zombie. How many of the 8 have you completed so far? Anything we should add to the list? Let me know: @jacksonblueshow

We have a lot of things that are "very Massachusetts" about us here in Mass. Our buildings are old, we're littered with rotaries, we love us some fried clams but can't get on the same page as far as those bellies, and we have no idea what a "water fountain" is. We also at some point will call you "kid" if we're comfortable with you. Even if you're 97 years old, trust us it's kind of a compliment.

So we sat around and brainstormed into fruition a list of things. Things every Massachusetts resident should do in their life. And if they don't? I think you should be evicted, ala Survivor. And while we're pretty happy with the items on our list, we absolutely missed a ton of good Massachusetts things! Sooooooo... please look through the items below and wherever you see a hole, another "thing" that belongs on the list, SEND IT TO ME!! You can find me on Instagram @jacksonblueshow - I'll update this list occasionally with any quality "things" that come in and belong on the list.

Before we get to the list, here are some other articles of interest which may ignite your Massachusetts spirit:

Massachusetts Has 2 of the 5 Safest College Campuses in America – Here’s Where.
The 5 Best Hamburgers in Massachusetts
Massachusetts wins: “Wicked” is now the 2nd most popular slang word in America
Massachusetts is Home to the Oldest Town Hall Meeting in America
Massachusetts 5 “Most Irish” Towns

And now that I got my linkies out of my system let's get to the main event - and why you're here - 8 very Massachusetts things that every Massachusetts resident must do at some point. Also I just realized that "Ride the T" isn't on the list and I used it as my featured image for this article - so - RIDE THE T at least once. Alright, let's go:

This is a must. Even if you're from Texas and you're a diehard Rangers fan, there will come a time when you're at a friend's house watching a Red Sox game. Even though you're a diehard Rangers fan, the Sox are playing the Yankees and you better pick the right team to cheer for.

For no other reason than to disgustedly quip that "it's not as good as New England" and that "tomatoes don't belong in clam chowder." Bonus points for spitting a mouthful on the floor.

Better than New England?? The answer is "no."

I mean it's all the rage now, did you see THAT ARTICLE we mentioned above? I love the word "wicked." I've even heard friends go ham and say that something is "wicked wicked." That's a bit much for me...

Massachusetts runs on Dunkin'. Lots of Dunkins, actually. We have an unGodly number of Dunkins in Mass. People give birth to their children in Dunkins, name their kids after Dunkin, even marry Dunkin' locations. Just kidding. I haven't seen that last one.... yet.

One of the sweet joys of living in Massachusetts is red dye stains on your fingers from an order of Saugus Wings from Kowloon. And if you time your visit right you'll be hanging with a gaggle of professional wrestlers. Kowloon is beloved by us and a home-away-from-home for the pro wrestling business.

Castle Island is a special summertime place. There's something so perfect about being there on a beautiful day, sun shining, hitting Sullivan's for a dawg and some fries, and.... holy cow that seagull just stole my hot dog out of my hand!!!

I like to practice this one approximately 10 times a week. Commuting is fun!

We all have our favorite spot for a lobster roll. I have mine! But I only ever go there when I have visitors from out of town because wooooaaaaahhhh those things are expensive!! So here's my locals-only trick: talk someone else into ordering the lobster roll. Now talk them into giving you a bite. Then order the chicken fingers. They're good at almost every clam shack in the state and you'll have enough money left over to pay for parking!
