We have received two external casting calls:
- TWO_POINT_OH, Jeffrey Jackson
Elliot Leeds is dead - or is he? A pioneering software mogul, Leeds makes headlines one last time when his private jet plunges into the Pacific. Months later, his widow Melanie discovers Elliot's greatest creation: a virtual-reality simulation of himself. "You can't take it with you", they say. Elliot's not so sure.
Audition dates:
- 4th May, from 12h to 17h
- 5th May, from 15h to 21h
- 6th May, from 12h to 17h
At 34 Grand'Rue, Ferney-Voltaire, 01210 France
We are casting for:
- MELANIE LEEDS (female 28-50), has been at Elliot's side since they first met in college. And even though she'd be just as happy without any of their fame or fortune, she has willingly subjugated her own goals and dreams - including her deep desire for motherhood - to be Elliot's support system. She didn't aspire to be the "woman behind the man", but she loves him too much to ever stop believing his endless promises of a normal family life free from the demands of his tech empire.
- BEN ROBBINS (male, 28-50), helped Elliot launch the company from their college dorm room. Twenty years later, as Paradigm's #2 man, he is every bit as smart and savvy as Elliot. But he lacks the special "it factor" that allows Elliot to envision the future and to make other people see it too. Ben is rich and successful beyond his wildest dreams, yet he's discontent and unfulfilled in Elliot's shadow. A wry, biting wit and a sardonic sense of humour are the only things that keep Ben sane and centered.
- JERRY GOLD (gender-neutral, 30-70). Bill O'Reilly, Chris Matthews, Rush, Olberman, Hannity, Maddows, Beck... the field is a crowded one, but it's a great racket to be in right now, and Jerry Gold is a rising star. Not the biggest shark in the ocean, but he's been making a lot of waves lately, with ratings for his cable show "The Straight Story" rising on the back of the salacious Elliot Leeds story. He cozies up to the political right, but is smart enough to keep himself playable to the widest possible audience.
