Open Casting Call – HBO Miniseries ‘Lewis & Clark’ open casting call for roles.
Casting directors for the upcoming HBO Miniseries executive produced by Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt and Edward Norton are casting roles in the upcoming production.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Casey Affleck will star in the six-hour miniseries centering around the historical expedition of Lewis and Clark. ‘Lewis & Clark’ is based on Stephen E. Ambrose’s book Undaunted Courage.
Affleck will star as Meriwether Lewis in the story of America’s first contact with the land and the native tribes of the country west of the Mississippi River. The drama tells the epic journey of the Corps of Discovery and its captains, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, as they traverse uncharted territory on a mission to deliver President Jefferson’s message of sovereignty and search for the fabled all-water route to the Pacific.
