Salman Rushdie bitten by the acting bug

Washington, June 3 : Award winning author Salman Rushdie is calling on Hollywood casting directors to come calling after being bitten by the acting bug.

Rushdie made his movie debut playing a gynaecologist in Helen Hunt's 2007 movie 'Then She Found Me'.

And, he is the first one to admit that he's hooked to it.

"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 quoted him, as saying.

"Now it's like an unscratched itch. So if there are jobs, I'm available," he added.
