Actors needed

Project:  A major beer company website advertisement

Shooting Location:  St. Louis

Shoot Dates: End of Feb.

Paid positions (Nonunion) 

Beginners & Experienced actors should apply.

 

Seeking actors to portray the following characters:

 

Charlie  - age 65-75, he is a “classic” blue collar renaissance man.  He is described as worldly for a blue collar guy, and general curmudgeon.  Can best be described as Hunter S. Thompson meets blue collar.  Think Robert Mitchum, or Alan Arkin.  He’s a navy man who can be anti-social when it suits him, and he doesn’t tolerate fools.  Charlie has a bevy of “blue” jokes at the ready, and he’s not afraid to drop a few nasty jokes for the laughter of friends, and the shock of strangers.  Caucasian.

 

Gladys  -  Charlie’s shrill but loveable wife, age 65-75.  She’s a character, and loves big jewelry, has her hair done once a week and sprayed to stay in place.  She and Charlie may bicker a lot, but it’s also obvious that they love each other a great deal.  Caucasian.
