Maybe you'll catch a glimpse of Adam Sadler in your town or at one of your favorite New Jersey hotspots, but what's even cooler is you could be in the movie!

How? We'll get to that in a minute, but first can you believe it's been nearly 30 years since Happy Gilmore was released?

If you've never seen the movie, Happy Gilmore just wanted to play professional ice hockey, but when he learned his grandmother could lose her home he decided to give golf a try. He competed in a golf tournament to hopefully win some money to help save his grandmother's home.

So what will Happy Gilmore 2 be about? I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Not only will Happy Gilmore 2 be filmed in New Jersey, but Grant Wilfley Casting is looking for a photo double to be in the movie.

Do you fit the role?

They're looking for a white male talent, aged 18 and older. This person must be between 5’9”–5’11” with short dark hair and a slim build.

This background role is covered by SAG-AFTRA CBA and is subject to a Preference of Employment provision. Also, you must be able to present valid identification to fill out a Federal I9 form and be paid.

If you're wondering how much you'll make...it's not Adam Sadler money, but it's still super cool. $253 per day.

There's no word yet on when Happy Gilmore 2 will be released, but I'm looking forward to maybe seeing you on the big screen!
