Cantonment Teens Cast In Miley Cyrus Movie

January 28, 2011

Two Cantonment teens may be on the big screen with Miley Cyrus — they were cast as extras in the new Cyrus film “So Undercover” being filmed in New Orleans.

Jamie Mackey and Katie Henry submitted their resumes to the casting department of “So Undercover” earlier this month, and both were cast within a couple of weeks as extras in scenes with Cyrus at a Greek festival.

Both girls said Cyrus was very professional and made them feel at ease as they spent nine hours on the set in New Orleans.

“So Undercover” is set for release late this year. In the action-comedy, a tough, street-smart private eye is hired by the FBI to go undercover in a college sorority.

The movie is not the first for Mackey and Henry. They were cast as students in their first feature film “Sadie Clove” in Birmingham last month. The feature-length horror film is about Sadie Clove, a young girl that begins to experience “events she cannot explain, actions she has no motive for, and thoughts that are not her own”. The film is scheduled for release this year.

Mackey and Henry are both training  in New Orleans during January with actor Lance Nichols, who has appeared in movies like “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”, “K-Pax”, “Welcome to the Rileys”, and another Cyrus film, 2010’s “The Last Song”.
