This just came in. Probably too late, but if they don't get what they're looking for today, maybe there's still a chance.

Casting Director Brenda Ambrize is casting 5 web spots (internet) for TXDOT. If you fit the specs below, please send an email indicating your interest and answer the questions below, AND include a JPG photograph. You will get a reply if the casting director wants to see you.

ALL SUBMISSIONS MUST GO TO: PRODSVCS@SBCGLOBAL.NET

AUDITION: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2006 IN AUSTIN
CALLBACKS: NONE
SHOOT: WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 12-17, 2006 IN AUSTIN (only 1 day)

This audition is INVITATION ONLY.

There is pay.

PREMISE: These spots not only provide you the opportunity to do something fun, edgy, and challenging-but they also present a great message! We are looking for very versatile and experienced comedic actors, especially talent with great improvisational and physical comedy ability.

CAST: ALL SPEAKING ROLES…IF YOU ARE INVITED TO AUDITION, A SCRIPT WILL BE FORWARDED TO YOU.

“CELLS”

PRISONER – Age 18-26. He’s a Caucasian male who’s a bit cool and hip. He also finds himself in jail. He has to be able to pull off the lines and physical action, because while his situation may elicit laughter in the viewer, in real life, there’s nothing funny about it!

“GOAT”

FARMER – Caucasian Male/Age 20ish-40ish/Red-neck type-typical country guy who sees things in black and white, a no-nonsense attitude-he’s telling it like it is in a way we can all feel-our pocketbooks! Older is good, but weirdness level supersedes age-he has a pet goat…

“FELON”

FELON – Caucasian Male/Age 18-26. He’s a clean-cut, rather sympathetic character who you’d be surprised to learn was a convicted “felon”. Sweet. Modern-day Charlie Chaplin. He’s probably a nice guy, a bit conservative, and normally, a pretty law-abiding guy. He also drank and drove, and got caught! This character is pretty challenging, as the actor will be required to have strong improvisational skills, and the ability to pick up cues well, and improvise action as well as react as things happen. Main prop: Sandwich board that states “Felon”.

“LIFE WITHOUT A LICENSE”

PIZZA DELIVERY GUY –Any Ethnicity Male/Age 18-26/who’s having to learn to live “without wheels” due to a DUI…he (his physical body anyway) has literally become his “mode of transportation”, and it stinks! This role will require some great improvisational and comedic skills, as well as the ability to express his emotions (frustration/embarrassment/tiredness) physically.

I just got back from that audition, and they're already running two hours behind. It's a real mess, I wouldn't bother.
