FILMING IN LONDON 'USHERS' ACTORS WANTED


Men & Women Actors -  Film extras required- Filming in London 


 Ushers is a comedy about our fearless hero, Trevor embarking upon a new and exciting thrill-ride of an adventure by getting a job as a member of the Front of House team at a theatre. There he meets and befriends several quirky characters and quickly falls in love with a very hot and very French girl, Aimee. Unfortunately Aimee is dating the rather homosexual, and incredibly French Jean. Life progresses...

We are planning to shoot four short 1-2 minute virals that will be released online at the end of the year. The purpose of these virals will be to garner an online audience, and also to test audience reaction to the material. All of this will be used to assist in the pitch for a 6-episode series (with potential for further seasons). The virals will be shot quickly and simply. This is a low budget production. Minimal crew, minimal equipment. Unfortunately we cannot offer any pay, but we will provide food and travel expenses during the rehearsal and shooting periods.


Roles Available ..

Up to 10 film extras, no experience needed

Female 18-24 yrs. 
Caucasian. Aimee is enchanting. She casts a spell upon men that is almost impossible to resist. She doesn’t have to be typically beautiful; rather she needs to be attractive. She needs to have an intrinsic sex appeal that Trevor (and the audience) finds ever so appealing. She is an incredibly well practiced manipulator. She knows exactly what to say in any situation to turn it to her favour. This can sometimes almost come across as bi-polar in the way she can flip a switch to change her personality to suit any circumstance.

Male 25-30 yrs. Any Ethnicity. 
Jean is a tricky character to portray. He needs to be a closet homosexual who comes across as gay to Trevor and the audience, but at the same time there needs to be a machismo that could somehow convince everyone else that he’s straight. We need the performer to be able to play a larger than life, almost OTT character whilst still making him believable. WE MUST BELIEVE THE PERFORMANCE. Comic sense and timing is extremely important. And you must be comfortable with playing an overtly homosexual character, once again while retaining a sense of realism.
