Supporting Role – Old Man in Independent Short Film

Job Description
An offbeat short film blending dark comedy and satire is casting for a supporting male role. The Old Man is a two-faced character who starts as a wise, philosophical mentor but quickly devolves into a hypocritical figure obsessed with youth and beauty. This character adds sharp irony and exaggerated humor to the film’s theme of moral collapse.

Job Responsibilities
• Play a dual-natured character who shifts from sage mentor to comically flawed figure

• Deliver a performance that balances gravitas with absurd comedic timing

• Participate in pivotal scenes that offer thematic contrast and comic relief

• Collaborate with the lead cast and director to shape the film’s satirical tone

Requirements
• Male actor, age range 50s–60s

• Strong comedic instincts with the ability to portray ironic transformation

• Experience with character-driven storytelling and satire

• Open to playing exaggerated, unconventional roles
