Calling all North Jersey fans of Adam Sandler and golf! Next week is your chance to be cast in the sequel to one of the actor's most popular movies.
Casting officials are seeking New Jersey locals to work as paid extras in the upcoming Netflix film "Happy Gilmore 2," the talent agency casting the movie announced on Instagram. Grant Wilfley Casting, Inc. is holding an open casting call from 1 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 20, in the ballroom of the Hyatt Regency in Morristown, New Jersey.
No acting experience is required to try out for the roles. Scenes will be filmed throughout Morris, Bergen, Essex, Somerset and Monmouth counties from September through November, the agency said.
The pay rate is $216 per eight hours of work for SAG-AFTRA members, and $176 per 10 hours for non-SAG members.

Netflix announced in May that Sandler would reprise his role as Happy Gilmore, a hot-tempered hockey player-turned-golfer, from the eponymous 1996 film. The movie is consistently ranked among Sandler's best and has developed a cult following in the golf community − plus, it features a legendary cameo from longtime "The Price Is Right" host Bob Barker.
No release date has been announced for the sequel. Earlier this year, Sandler said on the "Dan Patrick Show" that he's working on the screenplay with Tim Herlihy, his co-writer on the original film.
"We've been jamming and writing. We have a million ideas already," Sandler said in April. "We've just got to make it a movie and make sure we're excited about people enjoying it."
The star said he would "love" to get Drew Carey in the movie, who now hosts "The Price Is Right." Barker died in 2023; Carl Weathers and Joe Flaherty, seen in the first movie, both died this year.
"It sucks. We love those guys. They're such a big part of the movie and just great people," Sandler said. "But we're going to get them involved. Somehow, they'll be involved."
Acting hopefuls who cannot attend the casting call can still submit an application for "Happy Gilmore 2" in one of two ways.
First, residents can register by creating a profile for free. The profile will enable participants to respond to casting notices, receive updates about upcoming shooting dates and select which New Jersey counties they would like to work in.
Prospective actors can also email the talent agency at hg2@gwcnyc.com with the subject line "NJ LOCAL." The message should include the applicant's name and phone number, a current photo of them and which counties they are submitting to work in. Applicants should also include whether they are a SAG-AFTRA member or non-SAG and confirm they are 18 or older; if under 18, include a parent's name and the child's age.
