MILWAUKEE - The Johnny Depp film "Public Enemies" is looking for a few good extras.

Thousands of people shivered in the cold waiting for a chance to fill the parts.

Auditions for non-speaking roles in the film were held Friday at the Italian Conference Center in the Third Ward.

Kristin Beran told Lauren Leamanczyk that she wanted to experience being on a movie set. She also admitted, the film's leading man was a big part of her decision to audition.

"I would go to this for the experience, but I think Johnny Depp's the reason I'm in the cold," she said.

The requirements for the audition were rather specific.

First, the casting directors were looking for "people with great faces."

Men no taller than 6'1" and women no taller than 5'8'' and no larger than size 12.

Men had to wear a dark suit, overcoat and dress shoes.

Women had to wear a dark dress or skirt and sweater, overcoat and medium heel. Women were advised to set hair in curlers the night before and come to the audition with their hair brushed out.
