Anyone our location scouts send to this page (thanks Doug + James!)
WHAT IS THIS FOR?
This will be a commercial for Comcast Business – similar to the commercial seen here, but themed for the Winter Olympics.
We’ll cast a number of actors and non-actors with specific skills (you, hopefully!) to work for a day either in the Portland area, or the Mt Hood area.
To be considered for the project, you’ll need to send us your information, along with some media (photos and video), and then we’ll audition you either during our normal auditions this + next week, or at callbacks the week of Nov 8.
