Dan – Lead Male Role for Romance Drama Short Film

Job Description
A non-union romance drama short film is casting the lead male role of Dan for an upcoming production in Los Angeles, California. This paid acting opportunity offers a $250 flat rate for a 2–3 day shoot.

The story follows a grieving young writer who begins an unexpected affair, forcing her to confront deep emotional fears. Dan is a key character in this romance drama, serving as a steady, emotionally grounded presence in the narrative.

Casting directors are seeking an East Asian male in his 30s–40s who can portray calm strength, emotional intelligence, and quiet confidence. Dan is perceptive and introspective, with a stillness that contrasts the emotional intensity of the female lead. Strong subtle acting skills and the ability to communicate depth through minimal dialogue are essential.

This is a strong opportunity for actors looking to build dramatic film credits in an intimate, character-driven short film.
