Country Man Principal Male / 24 to 35 / Caucasian Country Man is a generous and hard-working person. He's simple, easy to please, and doesn't complain. Despite being seemingly content, Country Man is also very single and nothing would make him happier than having a nice country girl to spoil. When he sees Beautiful Country Woman on the side of the road, he thinks his wishes may be coming true. *Must be a driver

Brooklyn Girl: The role will require answering pre-scripted questions to an actor playing the role of host with other contestants.

Sassy Gay Contestant: The role will require answering pre-scripted questions to an actor playing the role of host with other contestants. This actor will also have to improv banter in between segments with both the host and other contestants/actors as well. This character will need to be adorable, campy and have quick-fire wit.

from batman to balloon dog (carl agatha), Tuesday, 31 March 2015 19:56 (nine years ago) link

It's mostly because I'm taking from commercials. They want to slap that "Real Match.com Couple" label, for example, over the actors when they can, for liability-authenticity but also because there are so many people willing to audition in Los Angeles that you can ask and yea shall receive. Also, most actors are bad actors so you can maybe cut the dross by asking that real doctors audition instead of getting an extra 200 dudes aged 28-60 who have nothing to lose wasting you time. And if you're a great actor you can lie and fool them and they won't care because you pulled it off for the camera.

You can ask for beautiful women 18-25, ***half-Asian*** and with a comedy background, and you'll get 150-500 girls potentially, including about 50-200 blonde girls who are disobeying or ignoring the casting call because they hope you'll be so wowed by their looks that you'll cast them anyway.

So casting is looking to get the best people but also narrow the field, at once.

Cunga, Tuesday, 31 March 2015 20:01 (nine years ago) link

Or you're trying to cast the widest net while still having a great filter.

From what I've been told, the most frustrating thing about auditioning if you're a black actor isn't that there aren't a lot of roles, it's that it goes without saying in Hollywood that they expect black characters to have a certain amount of swagger or confidence, and if you're a young black man who tends to underperform the attitude you get is "Well we could just cast a white guy -- or an Asian friend! -- if we wanted the quiet, non-aggressive friend. Can you make your personality 'POP' a bit more?"

So if you're the black John Krasinski they don't really know what to do with you.

One of my favorites. That having a pre-existing social media following now gives you an edge in casting

Male, Caucasian. (17 years old) -- LEGAL 18 YRS OLD. A handsome and rebellious young man, Jason has a great musical talent and has amassed a significant following on his Youtube channel, where he plays his original songs. Jason frequently clashes with his wealthy father, who thinks he is wasting his life by following his passion for music. Unbeknownst to Jason, he has attracted the attention of a cyberstalker... a young woman named Laura, who will do anything to be with him, including taking on the identity of a nun teaching at the exclusive boarding school that Jason attends with his twin sister Zoe. Jason finds himself being seduced by the incredibly attractive Laura, but when he gives in to her he immediately regrets it, and does everything he can to get away from her. When Laura begins to threaten his twin sister Zoe, blaming her for their deteriorating relationship, Jason decides to stand up to her, even if it means revealing their terrible secret... and putting his own life in jeopardy.
