No acting experience is required. Know anyone that fits the bill?

Celebrity culture is brimming with stories of how certain actors, models and musicians got their big break by chance.

For example, Charlize Theron was first spotted by an agent at a bank on Hollywood Boulevard. Johnny Depp followed his mate to an audition for A Nightmare on Elm Street and ultimately, Depp was asked to read for the role and got it.

See, it doesn’t matter how you get your big break, but if you fancy a career on screen – or if you know anyone that does – the BBC are looking to cast lead roles in the new season of Clique. See, we’re here to help!

What’s even better is that no acting experience is required. Who knows, maybe one of your mates is the next Tom Hardy and he’s just waiting to be discovered?

If you happen to be a fella aged between 18-23 and able to be in Edinburgh this Saturday, 10 March, all the relevant details are included below.

The characters in Clique are described as ‘smart, complicated and ambitious’ – know anyone that fits the bill?

Regarding the new season of Clique, we’re told that the second series will once again explore the power of friendship between intensely smart, complicated and ambitious young people on the cusp of an ever-enticing but dangerous adult world.

As reported by the BBC, creator, writer and executive producer, Jess Brittain, says: “I’m so excited to return to Holly’s intense, loyal and dangerous world. Clique is a show with female friendship as its heart, but a new clique of unknowable young men is definitely taking us to some new and interesting places.”

Ok, what does the season involve?

Living in a house share with Louise (Sophia Brown) and some younger, student activists students, Holly is trying to put the past behind her. Nonetheless, she finds herself the subject of intense attention from those around her – from fellow students keen to hear about the events of last year but also from a close-knit, smart and magnetic set of young men.

Led by charismatic, good-looking Jack, the boys’ clique of libertarian, freewheeling renegades has a no-nonsense attitude to what they see as a patronising university administration.

When they become embroiled in a campus-wide scandal, Holly is torn between the kinship she feels with them and the unnerving sense that something darker is at play. Do the clique boys represent the provocative fight-back response of fed-up youth, or are their politics hiding a more personal, insidious danger?

In case you’re unfamiliar with the show, here’s a good recap.
