Salman Rushdie, fresh from publishing his most recent novel The Enchantress of Florence, is dabbling with an entirely different career. He has requested that Hollywood casting directors send him more potential movie roles. The controversial author, who has acted in cameos previously, recently acted the role of a gynecologist in Then She Found Me. Although the sixty-year-old is better known for his authorial skills as opposed to his thespian abilities, he is the first one to acknowledge that he's addicted to acting. "When I was at college I did more acting that writing, but I discovered I wasn't any good, so I did the other thing," Contactmusic.com quoted him as saying. "Now it's like an unscratched itch. So if there are jobs, I'm available."
