Hello,

This is a casting call for a situational comedy I'm producing.
We need talented and attractive comic actors/actresses.

We need 2 actors and 2 actresses for the central cast and
are building a list of suitable day players and extras.

Send your photo and a brief letter of interest to:

Thanks.
PS: I'll be updating this thread regularly as our needs evolve,
so please make sure you subscribe.

LOCATION: Lagos/Ogun State, Nigeria!

The sitcom revolves around a young husband, his young wife, and their two close friends - one male, one female.

[s]The husband is your basic handsome hunk (relatively dark, tall, built like a real man, sounds like a man).

The wife is your ideal domestic belle. Pretty enough to be a model, feminine, petite, delicate, and curvy.

The male friend is a wacko/buffoon. That's all there is to it. Someone like Denrele would do just fine.

The female friend is sensual, sexy, comfortable in scandalous outfits, tall, experienced. You know [/s]

Just get in touch please. Thanks.

any other way to apply apart from the email .i mean physically?

@ jaybanks,

all you have to do is just send your letter of consent and a snapshot na

Um. . .What's so difficult about sending a photo in an email?

Much of casting is looking the part i.e. what you have on the outside.
If you don't look the part, there's no point wasting your time and mine.
(If the script calls for an ugly actor and you're beautiful, what's the point?)

On the other hand, even if you don't fit the parts i have in mind right now,
a future script might require someone just like you and having your photo on file helps.
This is expected to be an ongoing comedy show, with new characters every week.

If you look the part, the next stage is to invite you for an audition at Sango Ota.

Hi Seun,tot i sent a reply ,anyway read ur post and i'm so interested.i'm a model and have dabbled a little in acting.currently anchoring/hosting a show on tv.want to knw,r u a producer/director?.wld like to knw wats up.ciao,

telescorpy: want to knw,r u a producer/director?.would like to knw wats up.ciao,

Hi! Well, I'm the producer, and I'll be co-directing with a guy who directs cost effective movies and loves sitcoms. We've been able to recruit a small and growing army of freelance writers, and now our focus is on the cast.

seun i want in 4 ur casting crew.pls am on line j_arigu4rill@yahoo.com so can give u my pics

@ seun, i hope you've gotten my mail, but i'll to know if the picture should show the face alone or it should be full lenght,
i am very interested in the sitcom

@slitty: Yes, I think I've replied you. I believe I asked for your pic.

I'm looking for people who understand and desire the challenge of comedy performance - making people laugh.

@ seun, i haven't seen your reply and i believe i attached a picture of mine to the mail i sent

@slitty: what's your name and what's your email address?

@others: in order to encourage more people to respond, I want you to know that no acting experience is required. Although acting experience (especially in comedy) really does help, I'm willing to give everyone a chance.

@ seun,
my e - add is slittiey@yahoo.com (the mail i sent earlier was not with this ok?
the above will be a better corresponding tool.

i will be waiting to hear from you

Obviously I want to know the email address you corresponded with me earlier. Otherwise how do I identify you?

thats not a problem. i will send another email to your box giving you both addresses. i have my reasons for not wanting to post it on board.

thanks

Ok. The situation right now is very awful. Only 5 respondents so far?
This goes against the popular idea that everybody wants to be famous.
Even my real estate agent wants me to cast her daughters, and yet
in the whole of Nairaland I only have 5 interested actors? Instead of 50-100? Wow!

Maybe I was too specific? Look, as long as you have some talent, we can give you a shot.

cool. dis seems nice. congrats on ur sit-com seun. good luck.
