The fantastic, hilarious, brilliant and wonderfully camp Radio One DJ, Scott Mills, has got a part in Skins which he is filming today along with the two winners who won the last open audition through the Skins Life website.
Scott is playing himself much to his disappointment. Lol.
He is also playing a policeman in tonight’s (18/08/2008) Hollyoaks as well.
Skinsnation Exclusive! New Character!!!
Introducing Luke Pasqualino as Freddie.
He’s the brother of my friend’s hairdresser from here in the middle no where (Spalding).
It turns out he was also in the Skins Series Two trailer (he’s the one holding onto the girl in the bottom right):
Congratulations Luke.
Filed under Freddie, Luke Pasqualino, Series Three | Comment (1)New Character!! Introducing Mackenzie Crook as gangster boss John White
He was an uber-nerd in The Office and a thicko zombie in Pirates Of The Caribbean - but now Mackenzie Crook finally gets to play the tough guy.
He’s landed the role of gangster boss John White in the third series of hit teen drama Skins to be screened on E4 and Channel 4.
He told TV Land: “The role is different to anything I’ve played before and to work alongside the future of British acting talent is a humbling experience.”

Joining Kaya Scodelario (Effy) we have this charming chap:
From Daily Mirror:
Skins is returning with a new gang of teens who’ll be getting up to all sorts of new naughtiness.
And one of the new faces is young actor Jack O’Connell.
You might recognise him as "Pukey" from the hit Brit flick This Is England, in which he played a boozing, pot-smoking skinhead. So he should feel right at home as lairy Cook in E4’s Skins 2.
My spy reveals: "The rest of the cast are unknowns. Some of the scenes are hilarious - the new batch will start as well as the old ones left off."
But there will be one familiar face from the first version of Skins, which ran for two series - Effy.

I will try and find out which character he plays.
Filed under Series Three | Comments (5)Skins Audition Script
So yeah I can’t believe it either but I’ve just tidied my bedroom off my own back. Yeah that’s right, Mother didn’t ask me to. I’m actually that bored now that I’ve finished school for good that I’m resorting to this low, low level.
However I did manage to find the script that the auditionees used at the London Skins Party auditions from Toby’s camera bag.

Skins III - Freddie
Int. Skate Shop. Day
FREDDIE, (16), a gangling,shy, stoned boy with hair covering his face is browsing, looking at the different boards. He looks carefully at the garish designs.
A COOL SHOP ASSISTANT appears at his shoulder.
FREDDIE looks at BOARD with a huge, colourful VOLCOM logo on it.
COOL SHOP ASSISTANT - That one’s the bollocks, mate. The bollocks. You a boarder?
FREDDIE - Yeah. No. Yeah.. No. No. (pause). Yeah.
COOL SHOP ASSISTANT - I cant tell you’re a boarder. This is the one for you.
He thrusts the BOARD into FREDDIE’s arms. FREDDIE looks at it doubtfully.
FREDDIE - Yeah, um. The thing is… er, is there, is there like, one, with… one with… one that doesn’t look like complete shit?
COOL SHOP ASSISTANT is flabbergasted.
FREDDIE (cont’d) - Yeah I think I want one that doesn’t look like complete shit.
(pause)
FREDDIE (cont’d) - Actually, is there one that doesn’t have any logos of designs or patterns or anything really, really rubbish on it?
COOL SHOP ASSISTANT (horrified) - A blank one? With no logos?
FREDDIE - Yeah, i think I sort of want to just ride it.. not, you know, look at it. And stuff.
COOL SHOP ASSISTANT - No. There are no blank ones.
FREDDIE - Oh right. Cool. Ok. Um. Can you, sort of… like… not be here anymore?
The COOL SHOP ASSISTANT is too confused to move.
FREDDIE (cont’d) - Yeah. Cause I think I think you’re a wanker and I don’t want to talk to you anymore.
FREDDIE smiles sweetly. The COOL SHOP ASSISTANT walks away.
FREDDIE looks at the BOARD again and starts softly humming the ‘Blackadder’ theme tune to himself.

From Skinslife.com:
——————————————-
We know there are lots of you out there who were very disappointed not to make it into the new cast. We really don’t like upsetting people, so here is our little plan…
You all know that Skins shoots a lot of party scenes and our question is; would you like to be in one?
We are filming the first big rave scenes of series 3 very soon and we want to have some of you there to be part of it.
All you need to do is post a photograph of yourself in the box below, tell us you age and the town/city you live nearest to (please don’t put you full address!) and remember to let us know if you have auditioned for us before…
Right then - let’s see what happens!
