We seek talented actors to bring depth and authenticity to these complex characters.
Job Responsibilities: Selected actors will bring their skills to breathe life into the characters of ‘Reputation.’ They will be responsible for embodying their respective roles’ emotional nuances, struggles, and growth trajectories.
