Casting Call: Are You HGTV's Next Reality Star?

Think you have what it takes to be HGTV's next reality star? Starting in January, the cable channel will hold casting calls across the United States in search of cast members for "All American Handyman," its upcoming "jack of all trades" reality competition series.

"We are in search of the 'go to' person when it comes to quick fixes; a problem solver, someone who knows a little bit about everything when it comes to handiwork around the house," says HGTV Casting Assistant Andrea Cinque. "Essentially, we are looking for highly skilled men and women from all different backgrounds and careers that have the personality and DIY knowledge to compete in a handyman competition."

The winner of the competition will receive a prize package worth $20,000.

Casting calls begin at 10 a.m. and end at noon. Following are dates and locations, as well as an e-mail address for more information.
