ELDERLY MALE ACTOR NEEDED.
Seeking an elderly White or Black male (60-70 looking) for the title role of a festival-bound short film.
Hoping for a grizzled and weathered look (the likes of Sean Connery/Morgan Freeman/Ian McKellen).
The film is a silent comedy –much in the style of Buster Keaton. Though, while it is generally a non-speaking role, one scene will require a hearty, obnoxious laugh. A lot of walking is involved but will be shot in short pieces.
Shooting dates are: May 13th, 14th, 20th, and 21st. Call times for all days will be no earlier than 8:00am, and we will wrap no later than 4:00pm. All shooting will take place outdoors.
Private Audition to be held on Thursday, April 27th. E-Mail for details.
Note: This is a Self Response Notification. if you fit the role criterias and are interested by this project, please follow the submission infos below the role description.

The actor is affecting in his helplessness â€â€? and his rage â€â€? as he learns that his mother has found a new beau
They are two of the considerable pleasures to be found in "Humble Boy," Charlotte Jones' delicious dissection of a mother-son relationship in which the two protagonists can best be described as a queen bee and her drone of an offspring
When "Humble Boy" was first seen in London in August 2001 (with Diana Rigg as the mother and Simon Russell Beale as the son), much was made of the play's similarities to "Hamlet": ineffectual son, dead father, errant mother, new suitor
Credit designer Tim Hatley with the year's most hammock-inviting set
The lady in question is Flora Humble
That may be stretching things a bit But then, the man's daughter (Ana Reeder) apparently was impregnated by Felix years ago, a fact Felix never knew These people may not be completely happy, but they will survive Yet by the end of the play there is an accommodation of sorts Those bees certainly do make a noise (the exceptional sound design is by Christopher Shutt) and, at times, they do sting It's an icy, astringent performance, but Brown somehow manages to reveal the insecurity behind Flora's dominating personality Play 'Humble Boy' Is Full of Pleasures
May 18, 10:06 PM EST
You can hear the buzz and almost feel the sting
Thirtysomething Felix Humble is a dithering Cambridge don, a gentle astrophysicist overshadowed by his formidable mother and the memory of his father, a man who kept a hive of bees in that glorious garden She has been having an affair with the man for quite a while
As played by Blair Brown, Flora (an appropriate name for one surrounded by all that horticulture) has the cool competence of a woman used to getting her own way
That meal is dominated by the scene-stealing Mary Beth Hurt, who plays a mousy, obsequious friend of Flora's It's one of the playwright's more improbable plot points She is an imperious woman who has just lost her husband and must contend with her shambles of a son, who, during his father's funeral, flees the service
It helps, of course, that this engrossing play, which opened Sunday at off-Broadway's Manhattan Theatre Club, takes place in a lush English garden overgrown with flowers and tall grass that turn the stage into a maze of green Hurt makes the most of the character's charming English eccentricities and runs off with most of the laughs
A superb Jared Harris as the hapless "Humble Boy" of the title provides a vivid contrast Actually, not so new "Humble Boy," with its laughs and its inviting, summery setting, is more of a rueful comedy of family manners, stylishly directed by John Caird
The interloper, played with booming comic gusto by Paul Hecht, detests his would-be stepson One wonders what has brought these two very different women together But then, all these family secrets make for a particularly spirited dinner-party scene in Act 2
