Have you been picked on all your life for your strange facial features? Well, now’s your time to shine.

J.J. Abrams, director of the newest film in the Star Trek series, is casting extras with out of the ordinary facial features. That means you ugly!

In particular, this is what they’re looking for:

The call also asks for "Talent with interesting and unique facial features such as: long necks, small heads, extremely large heads, wide-set eyes, bug eyes, close-set eyes, large forehead, short upper lip, pronounced cheekbones, over- or undersized ears and/or nose, facial deformities, ultra plain-looking people, ultra perfect-looking people, pure wholesome looks, twins, triplets, emaciated talent, regally poised and postured talent, or other visually unique characteristics."

They’re also looking for people who are willing to shave their eyebrows to look like Vulcans.
