How can I get some (semi) pro actors for free or cheap?

Solutions:
1 - Make an animated film, and do all the voices yourself.
2 - Do it the William Wyler way...no less than 40 takes for each scene.
3 - Hire some really attractive women and promise them a role in your movie, when all you really need them for is...uh, nevermind.
4 - As a last resort, kidnap actors and steal all the equipment, the Cecil B. Demented way (or, to a lesser extent, the "Bowfinger" way).

Heres what I'm gonna do:
Post flyers on the walls of drama schools and similar institutions. Give a link to a well designed, stylish website which outlines my requirements, and a vague overview of the story for the casual/lazy person, aswell as the script itself. I think that'll hook in a reasonable pedigree of actors for free. Plus I'll try and show professionalism (even though I'm not a professional). And I'll lie about my age.
