Casting Call: Rugged Alaskans for Reality TV ShowAre you an Alaskan with an outgoing personality, lots of hair and a rustic pair of Carhartts? If so, you may be the star of a new reality TV show.
Are you an Alaskan with an outgoing personality, lots of hair and a rustic pair of Carhartts?
If so, you may be the star of the next reality TV show being shot in the 49th state. A TV crew is in Anchorage filming a show about the real Alaska: the tough, the unique and the quirky. To be the next reality TV star, producers are holding an open casting call Saturday, Nov. 5, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Wild West Guns. So what’s your motivation? “The focus of the pilot is gonna be in and around the world of Alaska to everybody in the lower 48…So, we're gonna focus a little bit on the gun world and a little bit on the people of Alaska,” said producer Hank Stepleton. If you are selected to step in front of the camera, show producers said you will receive a free gun repair or a substantial discount on a new gun. |

If, they are looking for real Alaskans they need to go to real Alaska, not Anchorage.

I fully support the old saying that "Anchorage is 30 minutes from Alaska" but (being a lifelong Alaskan), I don't buy the statement that there aren't real Alaskans in Anchorage

They need to come to soggy SE Alaska and check out some of the smaller rural communities with NO road access, only float plane's and boat's. See some of the REAL Alaskan's who live in Tenakee Springs!

I live in Los Anchorage, not by choice but by necessity, it is where the work is. with that said, I have plenty of life lived outside Los Anchorage hunting, fishing, boating, hiking, camping, 4x4ing and surviving in the great Alaskan outdoors. anyone who thinks because I live here I can't be a real Alaskan is full of HOOEY!

real alaskans aren't in anchorage? really? what kind of a statement is that? I was born and raised in Anchorage and I'm just as much an Alaskan as the people that live in the rural area.

Why are they in Anchorage if they want the real Alaska?

Isn't R5 sons a reality show? And if thats Real Alaskan then that's an Epic Failed version. Maybe they should choose someone from Anchorage. They of all people can survive the concrete jungle and the wilderness.

Native Alaskans: THE REAL ALASKANS WE (Natives) have what it takes to survive in the harsh conditions of rural ALASKA given the unpredicable weather. We can survive off subsistance for long periods of time: dried herring, seal, musk ox, salmon, geese, etc. without having to rely on store bought food.

what exaclty is a real alaskan, i grew up on the yukon, went to high school in anchorage, joined the military went all over the counrty n moved back to the yukon, whatever u define as a real alaskan, hope u dont do a bad job, as we alaskans, most of us in the rural areas have to know everything, our own mechanics, butcherers, hairstylists, plummers, etc we dont have the luxury of looking in the phonebook yellow pages for every little thing

It is not my quote but is so true about Alaskans - expecially the men...Odds are Good but the Goods are Odd...lol...there is your crew for your show...lots to choose from...

I say they should find someone who either has been born & raised in Alaska-anywhere here, or someone who has been here for a long time & participates in what most lifelong Alaskans do-fish, hunt, camp, hike, snowmachine, snowboard, etc. I'm an Alaskan Native, but I don't believe that it HAS to be a Native.

They search for what they will never find... The real Alaskans avoid the paparazzi media...
