Twentieth Century Fox is holding an online casting call to find an actor aged 10-13 for the lead role of Greg Heffley in the film version of the New York Times bestseller, Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

According to the press release, they are looking for a "bright, precocious and appealing young actor" and:

The filmmakers will be auditioning males, ages 10-13, only. The character of Greg Heffley is slight, physically unprepossessing, and not overly cute or precocious. He has a quirky, memorable face, is bright and articulate, and possesses a vivid fantasy life -- but he is cursed by the fact that he's in middle school. Auditioning actors must be able to handle dialog and have a flair for ironic comedy. (Think: a younger version of Michael Cera… or imagine Larry David in middle school.)

Interested parties should go to www.iamthewimpykid.com and upload their audition video.
