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)
