Love Actually sure had a lot of characters, and now you can be one of them. In partnership with Red Nose Day, the Love Actually sequel (creatively dubbed Red Nose Day Actually) is casting for extras to join Hugh Grant in an upcoming scene. All you have to do is enter a simple competition and you could be stealing the show this spring.

Five winners will visit the set on March 5 and get to be extra's in Grant's scene. All you have to do -- if you're a UK resident over the age of 18 -- is go to the Red Nose Day website and answer a question about Love Actually. Entries are submitted via text and unlimited, with proceeds from messaging rates going to Comic Relief.

The contest is now open and closes March 3 at noon. Red Nose Day Actually will air in the U.K. on March 24 and the U.S. on May 25.
