Richmond, Virginia Casting Call – AMC’s ‘TURN: Washington’s Spies’ Season 2 Episode 4 casting call for speaking roles in Richmond.
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 who are cast MUST be available for fittings in Richmond, Virginia NO LESS THAN 24 HOURS prior to their 1st scheduled work date, preferably 48 hours before. Where necessary, production will provide per diem and hotel on these days, but actors will not be paid for these days in accordance with SAG/AFTRA rules.
All principal (speaking) roles are either local hires (within 60 miles of Richmond, VA) or modified local hires (within 500 miles of Richmond, VA). In general, modified local hire means mileage reimbursement, lodging provided and per diem on work days only.

[RYDER] Male, 30s – early 40s, Caucasian. An authoritative, albeit rough, privateer leader.
