Weighty Matters: Director Milos Forman is doing some heavy-duty casting. He’s looking for an actor to play the lead in an upcoming movie about a fellow who wants to go to Japan and become a sumo wrestler. Applicants who show up for an open casting call Monday afternoon at Hollywood United Methodist Church must be aged 18-22 and weigh 300 pounds or more. . . “Candid Camera,” meanwhile, is looking for “handsome actors and beautiful actresses” (aren’t they all?) to appear in the new syndicated series Dom DeLuise will host. Celebrity judges will pick five actors and five actresses during a casting call Tuesday morning at Universal Studios.
