Amazon’s ‘Patriot’ Chicago Casting Call for Presidential Interns
Amazon’s Patriot is now casting new talent in Chicago, Illinois. Casting directors are looking for extras to play neighborhood pedestrians, presidential aides, presidential interns and other featured roles in Chicago.
About Patriot:
Intelligence officer John Tavner’s latest assignment, to prevent Iran from going nuclear, requires him to forgo all safety nets and assume a “non-official cover” as a mid-level employee at a Midwestern industrial piping firm. A bout with PTSD, the government’s incompetence, and the intricacies of keeping his day job cause a barrage of ever-escalating fiascos that jeopardize the mission. [Amazon]
