‘The Whisper Man’ Starring Robert De Niro Casting Call for Babies
Casting Call: Black Infant Talent Needed for Major Film Project
Job Description
An upcoming Netflix crime thriller is now casting Black babies between 6–7 months old for a featured role. This high-profile project, The Whisper Man, stars Robert De Niro, Michelle Monaghan, and Adam Scott, and is based on the bestselling novel by Alex North. With filming set to take place in New Jersey, this is a standout opportunity for parents seeking to introduce their child to the entertainment industry in a professionally run, SAG-AFTRA-backed production.
Set against a tense, emotional backdrop, The Whisper Man tells the story of a widowed crime writer (Adam Scott) who teams up with his estranged father (Robert De Niro), a retired detective, to find his missing son. Michelle Monaghan plays the lead investigator on the case, in a film that promises suspense, drama, and depth. The movie is produced by AGBO, the powerhouse team behind Avengers: Endgame and Netflix’s The Electric State, and directed by James Ashcroft (Coming Home in the Dark), with a screenplay by Ben Jacoby and Chase Palmer (The First Omen, It).
