On Friday in Durham, talent scouts will select 40 people to act out "soapy scenes" and read for a panel of judges including soap actor Alec Musser (Del Henry on "All My Children"); Miss North Carolina 2005, Brooke Elizabeth McLaurin; and Chris Hohmann, Barbara Gibbs and John Clark of WTVD Eyewitness News.
"What I'll be looking for most is self-assuredness and confidence," said Musser, 29.

Registration begins at 10 a.m. Friday at the American Tobacco Historic District, 324 Blackwell St.
