As always, hundreds of casting notices were uploaded to our audition listings this week, but these four caught our eye as great gigs for the working actor across film, theater, and TV. So get your résumé ready and your character shoes polished—we’ve got four exciting acting opportunities you won’t want to miss.
“NEW YORK, NEW YEAR”
This student film out of the School of Visual Arts in New York, N.Y., is seeking submissions from the Greater New York area for all roles, including Junkyu, the film’s adult, Asian protagonist. The film from student director Ji Hyun Kim follows Junkyu, a lonely HereForYou employee who goes around the city on a scooter to assist customers with any requests. This job pays, and it plans to film in NYC this March.
CHILDCARE COMMERCIAL
Worker Bee Films is seeking submissions from New York, N.Y., to cast a mother in a childcare commercial scheduled to film in early February. As it’s advertising an online babysitting service, special consideration will be given to actors who are actual mothers, are willing to try the service, and are willing to have their child appear in the spot. This job pays $400–$1,000 per day.
“MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET”
The Arts Center of Coastal Carolina is holding auditions Feb. 8 in Hilton Head Island, S.C., for Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, and the rest of the cast of “Million Dollar Quartet.” Based on the legendary 1956 jam session with these rock icons, this musical by Colin Escott and Floyd Mutrux pays $476 per week and runs June through July 2016.
“OUR HOUSE”
This independent Web series from director Sarah Holzworth is a political satire following Speaker of the House Mick Moady while “he tries managing his own party’s drama [and] resisting the Democrats’ opposition schemes, all in the hopes of one day being POTUS.” Auditions for all roles are being held Jan. 29 in Chicago, Ill. The series pays $100 per day and will begin shooting April 9.
