AMC TURN: Washington’s Spies is looking for actors are seeking talent to work on the next episode of AMC’s ‘TURN’ filming in Central Virginia.
AMC’s television series TURN: WASHINGTON’S SPIES is filming in the Central Virginia area, and Arvold Casting is seeking actors who look authentically from the Revolutionary War period for speaking roles. TURN is adapted from the nonfiction book Washington’s Spies by Alexander Rose. The story is centered on a band of young soldiers and civilians who were part of the secret spy ring during the Revolutionary War.
NOTE: Actors must be available for their fittings in Richmond, VA no less than 24 hours prior to their first scheduled work date. Preferably where possible 48 hours before.
All principal (speaking) roles are either local hires (within 60 miles of Richmond, VA) or modified local hires (within 500 miles of Richmond, VA).
Seeking the following speaking roles for episode 208:
[INMATE] 30s – 40s, Male, Caucasian. An intimidating and tough-looking inmate who seeks legal advice from a fellow, more educated prisoner. His accent should have a British flavor to it, somewhere between an English and an American accent, reminding us that the colonies were still very tied to England and that these families had only been here for a few generations. Requires beard or substantial scruff at time of shoot. [CO-STAR…POSSIBLE RECURRING]
[PRISONER] 20s – 40s, Male, Caucasian. A ragged prisoner, somewhat of an outsider, who delivers good news to his fellow inmates. His accent should have a British flavor to it, somewhere between an English and an American accent, reminding us that the colonies were still very tied to England and that these families had only been here for a few generations. Requires beard or substantial scruff at time of shoot. [CO-STAR…POSSIBLE RECURRING]
[RAMSEY] Early 30s, Male, Caucasian. A short-fused, Junior Officer in the British military who makes a surprising discovery in New York Harbor. Authentic Cockney accent preferred or working class British. [CO-STAR]
[SENTRY] 20s – 40s, Male, Caucasian. A sentry in the British military who lets his attention wander while on duty and is more interested in telling a good joke until he is faced with danger. Authentic British accent required. [CO-STAR…POSSIBLE RECURRING]
[PROSTITUTE] 20s – 30s, Female, Caucasian. A prostitute in New York who takes a bribe to keep quiet when she catches someone stealing. Her accent should have a British flavor to it, somewhere between an English and an American accent, reminding us that the colonies were still very tied to England and that these families had only been here for a few generations. Must be comfortable with simulated sex while wearing a nightgown.[CO-STAR]
[DIXON] 40s, Male, Caucasian. A desk jockey in the British military who does his best to maintain his composure while delivering an unwelcome proclamation from the King of England to one of his subjects. Authentic posh British accent required. [CO-STAR]
