Requirements

We are casting the following non-union roles:

  • Millennial Woman (20s–30s, Any Ethnicity): Confident, curious, disarming; grows more engaged during her ride.

  • Young Balkan Man (Early 20s, Balkan): Newly arrived in NYC, reserved, must speak with a Balkan accent.

  • Older Man (60s–70s, Middle Eastern or Central European): Physically imposing, loud, talkative, politically aware.

  • Two NYC Hustlers (Late teens–early 20s, Any Ethnicity): Must know each other in real life; street-smart, high-energy, unpredictable duo.
