Whataburger Seeks Young Football Stars for New Commercial
Whataburger, the iconic Texas burger chain, has opened a casting call that is specifically targeting boys between the ages of ten and thirteen who have experience playing football. The initiative is part of a larger campaign that aims to capture the energy of youth sports across Central Texas.
The shoot is scheduled for Friday, July 24, in Austin, where the company will bring together a small group of talented youngsters to appear in a spot that will run across regional television and digital platforms.
Each selected participant will be compensated $200 for their time, with the expectation of up to ten hours of on‑set activity, including rehearsals and the actual filming.
Parents interested in enrolling their children are asked to send an email to michaeldruckcasting@gmail.com, providing the child's full name, age, height, city of residence, contact details for the parent or guardian, a brief overview of the youngster's football background, and a few recent photographs.
Youth football teams, leagues, clubs and coaches are being urged to disseminate the opportunity to families who might meet the criteria, helping to spread the word within their communities.
In an added twist, participants have the option to direct the $200 payment to their own football program or organization, turning the commercial involvement into a fundraising boost for their teams.
Michael Druck, the casting director overseeing the project, emphasized that the deadline for submissions is immediate, encouraging prompt applications from eligible families.
