Casting for:
Pilot 1.
Bruce is a catalogue model, desperate to break into serious acting, but the only work he can get is for a TV Shopping channel, where he feigns enthusiasm for the crappy products that he peddles daily.
Male, 20 - 35, medium / athletic build.
Janie is the female half of the presenting duo, she can be a bit slow to pick up on Bruce's humour at times. There is some furtive on-screen bickering, but they have a fondness for one another. Janie is always perfectly turned out and over enthusiastic.
Female, 20 - 35, slim / athletic build.
Pilot 2.
Geoff is a very busy man, he works hard and has an inflexible moral code. Geoff is avuncular, and good-natured but he has an innate ability to speak his mind, without editing appropriately for the situation. He also prefers never to back down from an argument, even from the most trifling of disagreements, he can never find reverse.
Male, 25 - 35.
Pilot 3.
We are looking for a team of high flying Chairmen / CEO s of large multinational companies. These guys are used to the finer things in life, respect, and fear from their employees. All wear unflinching gazes, confidence in everything that they do and enjoy immediate presence.
3 X Male 30+ Improvisation skills crucial.
1 X Female, 30+ Improvisation skills crucial.
Pilot 4.
6 artists are required for characterisation of a comedy adult animation. The characters are set in a Trailer Park in Kentucky, US. All artists will need to be able to speak a rick Kentucky accent.
Zeke is the 66 year old Patriarch, he lives in a wheelchair / stroller hybrid, which he does not need, but is too idle to walk, and there is some deep - seated hypochondria to him. Despite, his position as head of the family, he is totally subservient to Ma - herself a fearsome woman. Zeke is an ill informed, mischievous self preservationist. Those old enough to remember Wilfrid Brambell playing Albert Steptoe could draw some comparison.
Ma is the Matriarch, and must be obeyed at all costs. She is far younger than Zeke, larger and hairier than any of the males, and she doesn't take any nonsense. Despite her masculine demeanour, Ma is not averse to attempt flirting at any opportunity, which is difficult to pull off with size 13 feet and whiskers.
Zeb is the eldest son, comparable to Patrick the starfish from Spongebob but far more stupid, and with a particular fondness for the Trailer Park livestock. Zeb is large and strong, but is very well-natured.
Billy Bob, is the 7 year old hero, our moral chorus throughout every situation, he is the stoic, who selflessly helps everyone through their hardships and predicaments without judgement (almost). Billy Bob never gets the recognition that he deserves, but his saintly demeanour means that he would never demand it.
Reverend, as his name suggests, is God's non-ordained representative in the park. Of course, he needs to be sensibly remunerated on God's behalf for his work, and never misses an opportunity to profit from the predicaments of others. Reverend is something of a mystery, as he doesn't seem to know an awful lot about the bible, or theology, and he doesn't walk, he glides. He is a scrawny, sinister, cowardly character, with a thin, whiny voice.
Mrs Johnson Shares the Reverend's trailer, but we never know in what official capacity. Viewers would be forgiven for thinking that she is a robot with her unwavering, exaggerated smile and nauseating optimism. No matter what news is announced to Mrs Johnson, she continues that smile and "positive" inflection.
Filming for Pilot 4 will take place on the week commencing 6th August 2007.
