May 31–Open Call | Boys+Girls 14-19 for Nickelodeon’s THE TROOP

Michael Bean — Sat, 30 May 2009 08:03:39 +0000

This show is going to be in town shooting for another six months, twenty-six episodes in total. So this is not only a great opportunity to be seen by a professional casting director (open calls with pro casting directors *never* happen so take advantage of this) but if you’ve got a particularly fun quirky thing going on for yourself you’ve got a decent shot at appearing on the show. Think about the style for Nickelodeon shows, make big choices with your audition pieces, don’t be afraid to really have fun with it. The acting style is basically as “big” as possible without being a cartoon. Good luck! -Michael Bean, Owner+Head Coach, Biz Studio

VANCOUVER BC – Castaway Productions will be holding an open call looking for outgoing teens for the Nickelodeon television series “The Troop”, shooting in the Greater Vancouver area.

Open auditions will be held on Sunday, May 31, 2009 between 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm at Castaway’s offices at #204 -2323 Boundary Road, Vancouver, BC. (between Broadway and Grandview Hwy).

Castaway Productions is looking for candidates who can convincingly and realistically portray teens between 14 and 19 years old. They are looking for a diverse cast and are open to all races and ethnicities which includes (but not limited to) African American, Hispanic, First Nations and Asian.

“Vancouver has a huge pool of untapped talent.” says Casting Director Maureen Webb, “This is the perfect opportunity for young actors to showcase their talent. Who knows where it might lead?”

If you are outgoing, have great comedic skills and have a strong desire to act, check out the website http://www.castawayproduction.com for more information.

***All candidates must bring photo ID and a current photo to the open call.

“The Troop”, an action adventure with sci-fi elements and CG animation, follows Jake, a typical teenager struggling through adolescence who dreams of creating his own comic book. When his school counselor recruits him into the Troop — a secret society that protects the world from the monsters that walk among us — Jake suddenly discovers a whole new existence. He teams with the smart, athletic and popular Hayley and annoying paranormal expert Felix to take on monster missions.

“The Troop”, filming in Vancouver for a fall premiere, has received a 26-episode order. Run by Emmy-winning comedy writer Jay Kogen (”Frasier”); Created by Greg Coolidge (”Employee of the Month”), Chris Morgan (”Fast & Furious”) and Max Burnett (”Possums”); Exec produced by Tommy Lynch (”Romeo!” and “South of Nowhere.”)
