New Zealand actress Rose McIver (The Lovely Bones) was tapped to play the title role in MTV’s drama pilot, Cassandra French’s Finishing School for Boys.  McIver joins previously cast Steve Talley, Abby Pivaronas and Lyndon Smith.  The pilot project is based on Eric Garcia’s book about recent college grad, Cassie French, an over-achieving young lawyer who finds all men not mature enough to date her.  When her latest chance at love (Talley) accidentally knocks himself unconscious, Cassie decides to lock him in her basement to train him to become the perfect gentleman.  

Casting Call: Oxygen Media, Shine America along with supermodel Naomi Campbell are conducting a search for the new reality competition series, The Face set to premiere on Oxygen in 2013.  The show is seeking aspiring models who want the chance to be a spokesperson for a nationally recognized brand.  Casting directors invite women who are at least 18 years old to audition.  The Face NY Casting Call will take place July 21 from 10a to 4p at Flatotel and The Face LA Casting Call is July 28 at W Hollywood from 10a to 4p.  More information and the online applications can be found at: www.thefacecasting.com.
