Phonte wrote on his MySpace blog that the producer for the video is “looking for extras that can come to Altadena [California] on Thursday at 1 p.m. dressed for a funeral — suits or shirts and ties for men, and dark dresses for woman. All ages [are] welcome.”
Anyone who is interested should send their contact info, photo, height and age to samjoe01@hotmail.com.
