As regular patrons of the good ship Showcase are no doubt aware, sometimes we turn to our blog readers to be extras in new Showcase Original series. We did it with Pure Pwnage late last year (remember?) and we're doing it again with Blackstone. Well, we're not -- Prairie Dog Film & Television is, because this time they're looking for just one perfect person to fill a very specific role on their new show, and they want to get it right.

A bit of background on the series for those of you who weren't fortunate enough to see the one-hour pilot (and also don't read Canadian TV production gossip blogs): Blackstone stars Carmen Moore (Caprica, Supernatural), Eric Schweig (Cashing In, Gun), Michelle Thrush (Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee), Roseanne Supernault (Rabbit Fall) and Nathaniel Arcand (Moose TV). In short:

The series delves into the tumultuous lives of residents on the Blackstone Indian Reserve. It begins with newly appointed Chief Leona Stoney (Moore) struggling in her new role. After losing re-election, corrupt former chief Andy Fraser (Schweig) continues his questionable behaviour by attempting to remove incriminating files and orchestrating an alliance to replace the new Chief. Gail Stoney (Thrush) is still in mourning over the tragic death of her daughter Natalie (Supernault), and ends up in the hospital. Outspoken councilor Victor Merasty (Arcand) struggles to have a relationship with his daughter in the city, while fighting for what he believes in. The community of Blackstone becomes divided as police are allowed to investigate, then prosecute, in a child abuse case. Life in the city serves as a continuous temptation, as the new generation of reserve leaders fight to create lasting and substantial change from within the community.
