As PH is frankly the best resource centre in the world I may as well post this here as well as on my regular casting sites.

I'm casting for a Spanish Educational TV Series, so if you or anyone you know may be interested in taking any of the roles below please can you send piccies & c.v to benjamin.field@holomedia.co.uk

Roles:
1x Teenage Boy Aged 14-16
1x Female Aged 18 - 21
...1x Male Aged 18 - 21
2x Female Aged 21 - 30
2x Male Aged 21 - 30
1x Male 35+
1x Female 35+

I have been made aware that the Exec Producers of this show require that all the actors we use be, and this is genuinely a direct quote, 'Beautiful' - which is not at all subjective... but they did pay someone off their last shoot who in the Exec Producer's eyes wasn't attractive enough!

All roles fully paid (Equity Min) Shooting in London based Studio Mid April.

If you know anyone who may be up for it get them to send me some stuff across - always good to keep the ph'ers in money if I can!

Cheers!

Ben

I am an actor but will boycott this production on the basis that it is "beautist".

Tell me about it! This must be the only profession in the world where it can be gotten away with! Unbelievable!

Is it ok that I am incredibly beautiful but haven't done any acting since school plays?

I mean - coming to PH looking for "The Beautiful People".

I can't believe he looked here first.

Ricky Gervais didn't do anything either from what I understand, I think he worked in a Warehouse...

Who wouldn't think of looking instantly on a car forum for beautiful people... haven't you seen the Pit Girls threads... they're all from here aren't they...??

If they are, they're well disguised.

How long will the shoot be? Does one have to speak Spanish?

Ah, probably should have said - No spanish is necessary, all parts are English speaking.

Shoot will run for 1-4 days depending on role and will have 1 days rehearsal.

Cheers

Turns out she has convictions and stands by them. No interest because of the 'beautiful people only' requirement!

That's fair enough, although having seen her CCP & her website I would have shortlisted her. If she wants to apply with that in mind it may be worth it for her.

The funniest bit of all of this is that she had already applied and I had already shortlisted her... I thought her face looked familar!

Really? Before or after 14:52 when I posted? I told her if she changed her mind she should still apply.
