“Resurrection Bay” Principal Role Open Casting Call

Open Casting Call: seeking late-deafened, d/deaf, or HoH artist for a lead role in “Resurrection Bay,” Australia.

In collaboration with ABC Australia, Jungle Entertainment is straight to series for their upcoming one-hour episode, “Resurrection Bay.” To bring this unique and challenging role to life, the producers seek a talented and skilled artist who identifies as late-deafened, d/Deaf, or HoH for their lead role of Caleb Zelic.

Caleb Zelic is a private investigator specializing in fraud, and he has been profoundly deaf for most of his adult life. As a hearing person, he lost his hearing ability later in life. Caleb’s observational skills are exceptional, which has become his superpower, but he hates people knowing about his hearing disability. He had a rough childhood, which made it difficult for him to trust people. However, he’s also astute and has a sixth sense of when someone is lying.

The actor portraying Caleb Zelic must communicate fluently in English, and knowledge of ASL, BLS, Auslan, or equivalent is needed. The producers are open to actors and non-actors, but the priority is for the character to be played by someone who identifies as late-deafened, d/Deaf, or HoH.

The shoot dates are from June to September 2023, and the shoot location is in Sydney and South Coast, Australia. This is an excellent opportunity to be part of a groundbreaking series that aims to showcase authentic and diverse storytelling in the entertainment industry.

If you’re a talented individual who identifies as late-deafened, d/Deaf, or HoH, this is your chance to shine. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of something incredible!

[CALEB ZELIC] 

Male

35-50 years

(Lead Role) has been profoundly d/Deaf for most of his adult life. He was born a hearing person and lost his hearing later in life.

Most people would not know that he is d/Deaf. His observational skills are exceptional. They are his superpower.

People who listen closely may think he has an accent but can’t identify what it is.

He works as a private investigator specializing in fraud, but the most important thing to know about Caleb isn’t that he’s deaf and hates people knowing he’s deaf.

He had a tough childhood, so it’s hard for him to trust; Caleb is tenacious and stubborn, but he’s also brilliantly astute – with a sixth sense for when people are lying. 

Producers are open to actors and non-actors; the priority is casting someone who identifies as late-deafened, d/Deaf or HoH.  The actor must also be able to communicate fully in English. Knowledge of ASL, BLS, Auslan or equivalent is needed.
