CASTING CHEF/ COOK FOR 07/29/24
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
P-Valley Season 3
- TV Series for Starz – https://www.starz.com/us/en/series/p-valley/46156
- Down deep in the Mississippi Delta lies the Pynk, an oasis of grit and glitter in a rough patch of human existence where beauty can be hard to find. This southern-fried, hour-long drama from award-winning playwright Katori Hall tells the kaleidoscopic story of the little-strip-club-that-could and the big characters who come through its doors—the hopeful, the lost, the broken, the ballers, the beautiful, and the damned. Trap music meets film noir in this lyrical, atmospheric series that dares to ask what happens when small-town folk dream beyond the boundaries of the Piggly Wiggly and the pawn shop…
SPECIALTY BACKGROUND ROLE
1 MALE COOK/ CHEF PHOTO DOUBLE
- We are casting an African American Male Cook/ Chef Photo Double with experience who can cook an Ugandan Rolex (an omelette rolled in a Chapati). This role with work as a Photo Double for a principal actor.
- What is a Photo Double?
- Photo Doubles resemble the actors as closely as possible in height, build, hair color, and complexion. Photo Doubles are used on camera in shots that don’t require the actor’s face, such as long shots, back of the head shots, or when the actor is getting in or out of a car. They are chosen for their close resemblance to the principal actor in terms of height, build, hair color, complexion, eye color, and weight so that from a distance, they appear to be the same person.
