 | | Some 200 sneering, hip-swiveling Elvis Presley look-alikes in pompadours, leather jackets, jumpsuits and blue suede shoes lined up for an open casting call Wednesday outside CBS studios, hoping to play the king of rock ’n’ roll on TV. |
 | | Elvis impersonators from as far away as Buffalo, N.Y., Boise, Idaho, Toronto and even Scotland turned Sound Stage 46 into a virtual international house of Presley as they filed one by one before casting directors and producers to perform a few bars of “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Jailhouse Rock” or “Hound Dog.” |
 | | Organizers said they were looking for someone who captures the “essence of Elvis” and bears a close resemblance for an upcoming CBS miniseries about his early career. |
