Want to be on TV? New reality show seeks service members

The History Channel is casting for a new reality show, and producers want people with military expertise to try out.

But if you’re interested, you need to act fast.

“Fugitive tracking experts wanted!” declares the flier advertising History’s upcoming reality show “Off the Grid,” described as an action-packed contest reality show that will challenge contestants to evade professional trackers.

“Could you find someone in a major city? Do you use technology to track people down?” the flier says.

The producers — the same people who make History’s “Most Wanted” — are looking for current or former military members or law enforcement officers with the following skills:

• Surveillance.

• Urban tracking.

• Investigation.

• Security analysis.

• Anything else that may qualify you to find people who don’t want to be found.

If you think you fit this type — and you’ll be available for filming during the month of November — e-mail your photo, phone number and a brief description of why you think you’d be great for the show to casting director Blair Franklin at actioncasting@rocketmail.com, or call him at 310-417-1549, no later than Oct. 15.
