Can you pass for Cambridge homeboy Ben Affleck and have mad skills with a
driver and 9-iron pitching wedge? You're in luck.
Billy Dowd Casting is on the hunt for an excellent golfer who is also a
look-alike/photo double for Affleck for an upcoming scene featuring the
hometown actor in the made-in-Boston flick "The Company Men." You must be
around 6'2" with dark hair and have a killer swing.
On Tuesday, June 2, Affleck is scheduled to make a return visit to the Gannon
Municipal Golf Course in Lynn to finish scenes he shot on Wednesday, April 8.
However, based on reports, Affleck had a few issues mastering the game. In
fact, Affleck hit dirt with the golf club and a bucket full of balls when he teed up
at McGolf in Dedham last month.
"He had a beard and it looked weird," says McGolf co-owner Marion McInerney
here, adding that Affleck wasn't happy when a patron tried to snap his photo.
"He said he wants to learn the game and he doesn't want to be made fun of."
When if comes to filming the golf scene, it appears that Affleck has dropped the
ball ... literally.
As previously reported, crews for John Wells' downsizing drama "The Company
Men" are slotted to film on Wednesday, May 27 at Daisy Buchanan's pub
located located at 240 Newbury St. on the corner of Fairfield.
Before taking over Newbury Street on Wednesday, crews are scheduled to film
at a private residence on Crowninshield Road in Marblehead on Tuesday, May
26. The home, with a stunning waterfront view, is the residence of Brian and
Nancy McCarthy of Kelly's Roast Beef fame.
