Seven Dust, currently ranked No. 5 in the world by the Professional Bull Riders, takes center stage at the Monroe Civic Center Arena on Tuesday and Wednesday as the climactic "Million Dollar Challenge" scenes are filmed for the faith-based movie "Cowboy & Indiana."

The bull has a 100 percent buckoff rate in 10 outings thus far in 2017, according to PBR world standings. He has only been ridden once in his three-year career.

You can come watch this exciting action for free. Hundreds of extras are needed to cheer the film's character Marcus (played by Lynn Andrews) as he attempts to ride Gang Banger, (played by Seven Dust) and collect the million-dollar bounty.

Extras will be able to see current PBR rider J.W. Harris as C**t, who will perform on Tuesday. Several PBR champions and bull-riding legends also have roles in these scenes, including Justin McBride, J.W. Hart, Chris Shivers, Cody Lambert and Frank Newsom.

Extras should arrive at the Monroe Civic Center arena no later than 6 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday evenings dressed to attend a rodeo event. Extras will be required to sign a release allowing their likeness to be used in the film. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian with the authority to sign the release.

Extras should apply by emailing [email protected] with their contact information.
