HBO’s ‘Looking’ Season 2 is now casting extras and featured roles in San Francisco, California.
The series is about 3 gay friends living in San Francisco and features Jonathan Groff (SMASH). Jonathan Groff play’s a video game designer named Patrick, who’s looking for love on OKCupid. “The show hopefully will express all facets of gay life,” he said. “We’re all different types of people. There’s lots of people who have anonymous sex. There’s also people looking for love. There’s people looking for an open relationship. There are also the queens. There are those you wouldn’t know were gay. It’s the gay experience.”
