(CBS) MTV is giving Occupy Wall Street protesters a chance to get their voice heard on a national level -- if they're willing to be cast on "The Real World."

Bunim-Murray, the reality TV producers behind "The Real World," posted an ad on Craigslist asking those involved in Occupy Wall Street to sign up for the upcoming 27th season of the MTV show.

The listing specifically calls for people who are part of the Occupy Wall Street protests to apply. The production company is looking for cast members over the age of 20; the ad says applicants should "appear to be between the ages of 20 to 24." To apply, you'll will need need three recent photos, a bio and contact information -- which be difficult to provide if you're currently residing in Zuccotti Park.

If you're not interested in sharing the "true story" of your life with strangers, you might get another chance to get some screen time. The Los Angeles Times reports that according to a casting notice, "Magnus Rex" -- the code name for "The Dark Knight Rises" -- will be filming in New York starting Oct. 29. Sources tell the newspaper that the cast has already been notified that the shoot may include scenes shot at Occupy Wall Street.
