Warner Bros. has issued an open casting call for the upcoming musical Rock of Ages, which stars Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Julianne Hough, and Mary J. Blige. Producers are seeking out males between the ages of 18 and 25 to play Drew Boley, who falls for Julianne Hough's character, Sherrie Christian. Take a look at the character description below.
"In his early 20s, super handsome leading man looks and a nice guy, despite the tough-guy duds, Drew is an aspiring rocker, a talented singer/guitarist who's already working with a band. Immediately smitten by the lovely and naive, yet talented Sherrie, he's currently working behind the scenes at the legendary Bourbon Room, stoked when he finally gets a chance to open for a major star. Later, a mortified Drew is signed by a manager who insists on turning him into the next homogenized teeny bopper. Lead (5) Must have rock-n-roll singing voice"
