[ LUCAS JENNINGS ]Co-Star: Lucas is a tall, (understatedly) sexy man with a strong/solid physique (not overly muscular) in his late 20's/early 30's.

He is successful and somebody whom can be trusted - he's a good guy to have as a friend.
[ SARAH ]Featured player: Sarah is a fit, attractive woman in her late 20's/early 30's who has a great look - she's the kind of person whom people look and see a complete package - success, looks, and intelligence.

[ WAITRESSES ]Day players: Waitresses (Alexis and Tina) - Young women, late teens/early to mid 20's. Thin, trendy, and not very tolerant or sensitive. They lead relatively superficial lives because they aren't required or expected to do any more than that.

NYC: low budget Japanese/British Actors

I am a 22-year old filmmaker who just signed an attatchment deal for myfirst screenplay with a studio in Hollywood, and I have an agent at CAA (Creative Artists Agency). I am currently developing the screenplay with this studiofor a projected mid-2006 production slot. In the mean time, I will be directing a low-budget indie feature called 'Hooligan' this February, with a shooting schedule that may spill over into March. The story revolves around twodisgraced Yakuza hitmen who come to Manhattan to hunt down and murder the man whokilled their master. It's a stylized gangster piece that promises to showcaseall actors involved.

We will be shooting in New York in February/March, so all actors must livein New York City.

IMPORTANT: Because of the ultra low-budget nature of the film, I am reallyonly looking for non-SAG, non-Union actors.

If the film turns out well, my agent will approach CAA with the opportunityto back the film and sell it. Due to the ultra-low budget status of the film,I cannot pay actors. The money we raised was just enough to purchase thehighest-grade High Definition camera on the market, plus a full Arri lightingkit and sound equipment. However, all principal actors will be provided back-end deals, meaning that actors will own a piece of the film. If the film getssold, actors get paid heavily. My cinematographer and I are looking to beginour directing/cinematography careers, and I am looking for actors willing todedicate themselves and begin their career as well. I need dedicated actors who aren't afraid of taking on complex characters.

This a hyper-stylized, cool film. I'm looking for the coolest actors in NewYork City. Character descriptions: 2 Japanese Males to play the two hitmen (age: 20s-30s). These are lead roles, and I need two ultra-cool Japanese actors, fluentin both Japanese and English. I need the two coolest Japanese actors in NewYork City. How cool? James Dean cool. Steve McQueen cool.

2 Japanese male actors (age: 40s-70s) to play elder Yakuza bosses (also mustbe fluent in both Japanese and English).

1 British Male (age: 40s-50s) to play a suave London gangster. This is avery cool leading role. I need a cool Brit whose not afraid to play a frighteningly volitile character (think Bob Hoskins in 'The Long Good Friday' meetsGary Oldman in 'The Professional'). Must have a British accent.

1 British Female (age: 20s-30s). The daughter of the London gangster who falls in love with one of the Japanese hitmen and changes his identity for him.She helps him assassinate his target. This is an amazing role for females looking for complex and challenging parts. Must have a British accent.Submit to:: _BootlegDylan@aol.com_ (mailto:BootlegDylan@aol.com)

(Male, 50’s, Caucasian)

Jessica, or the Phone Voicemail Service Voice Lady, is one of the two romantic leads of the movie.

Charming and enthusiastic, Johnny is the guy who does the typical voice for Car Commercials. A few days after Bob and Jessica meet, he also drops into Jessica's life, and tries to seduce her, much to Bob's dismay and jealousy...(30’s)

Weekly Tip: Evaluating Casting Notices

THE WEEKLY TIP

Evaluating Casting Notices

Ever been tricked by a casting notice that sounded legitimate, only to find out it was bogus, or not what you thought or expected? Don’t worry – it happens to the best of us. So, how can you recognize a good casting notice from a sketchy one? Here are some guidelines of things to look for look out for in a casting notice. Hope this helps!

1) Source. First and foremost, evaluate the source of the casting notice. How did you hear about it? Backstage? Email? Through a website? From a friend? From an agent or other industry person? Remember – the internet is an amazing tool and has become an integral part of an actor’s marketing efforts, but it is also free for anyone to post just about anything, so be careful! A listing in Backstage costs about $50, so that tends to weed out more of the tricks, but not all of them. If you hear of an audition through an agent, make sure you evaluate the agent! Is the agency known and respected in the industry? How long have they been in business? You get the idea – be a New Yorker!

2) Read the ad thoroughly. Many actors scan a casting notice, look if the audition calls for their types and fire off a headshot without really reading the notice carefully. Slow down a bit – it’s a long subway ride back to Astoria – you have time to read carefully! Is the casting notice union / non-union? Is it shooting on film or digital? Is any nudity required? Is the address a home address or a business address?

3) When is the audition? Ever read about an audition on Saturday evening at 8pm? Now, let’s be honest here – isn’t the date and time of that audition a pretty good indication that something might not be quite right? Most casting happens during business hours form Monday thru Friday. Why? Because casting is a business! This is not to say an audition on the weekend is not legitimate – just remember to be careful, and think of these things when evaluating a casting notice.

4) What’s the email address? Ever get an online casting notice from a big show like “Law & Order?” Want to know if it’s legit? Here’s a sure-fire giveaway – what is the email address of the casting notice? C’mon – do you actually think “Love Monkey” actually places a casting notice through their Hotmail account? Or do you think “Law & Order” likes to find new actors by emailing from their Yahoo or Aol account? Be smart! Chances are, it’s not legitimate.

So, now that you’re a pro, let’s evaluate this casting notice:

Stamford, CT: Indie Film - Male Actor - 40's

Drama
INDIE film to be shot in Stamford, CT, in early 2006.
The story revolves around a man in his 40s who is down on his luck and arrives to live at his sister and brother-in-laws house in order to get back on his feet. He becomes the center of attention to three neighboring women who do their best to take care of him. And take care of him, they do! Some intense scenes, balanced with good comic relief.

JIM - Lead Male Actor, 40s, Caucasian. Must have excellent improv skills and ability to transform looks (from scruffy, downtrodden and dumpy to attractive, self-confident and polished). Jim is key to the success of the film, as his interactions with the women in the story must be convincing and electric.
