Part of my continuing series on casting opportunities for women.
From this week's casting breakdowns, I found that the boys behind Law & Order: SUV currently have three -- count 'em THREE -- parts for women available: a two-time rape victim, a three-time rape victim or a two-time "rape/murder victim". I have excerpted these awesome New York casting opportunities below. Good luck!

Me? I don't think I could rape-it-up properly. And anyways, I want this part in this film:

[SMOKING CARNY] 30s-40s. This carny smoking a cigarette at a carnival answers Eric when he asks if they have one of those jumping castles for kids...1 line, 1 scene
OMG YES! I want to be a smoking carny! Please! I will start smoking again if I get this role! Vote Felber for smoking carny!
I want to live the dream!
I would say, "Look chump, you want jumping castles? Go to F@#$in' Disney."
Or I'd say, "Jumping castles? My grandpappy was killed by a jumping castle..."
Or maybe I'd say, "Jump this, buck-o" while smoking and pointing at my too-tight shorts. Then I'd cackle at Eric. Then I'd have a coughing fit.
Just remember, the casting sheet does not say it's got to be a man. A gal can dream.
