Do you know anyone who would be interested?

The long-running sitcom It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is shooting in Ireland this weekend and is on an “urgent” search for a double for its star Danny DeVito.

According to Irish site MovieExtras.ie, the US series will be filming this Sunday, 29 August in Dublin.

As part of the shooting, the show is calling for male members of the public to be a double for the rum ham lover Frank Reynolds, played by Danny DeVito.

MovieExtras.ie has said that the man chosen for the job would be paid.

For those unfamiliar with the show, which is now filming its 15th season, it centres on a group of narcissistic friends who run the Irish bar Paddy’s Pub in south Philadelphia.

Given its Irish pub setting, it feels only right the series will now have an episode shot in the Emerald Isle.

To apply for the role, all you need to do is fill out a short form on MovieExtras.ie’s website here.
