Showtime’s ‘Billions’ Season 5 Casting Call for Basketball Players

Date:

Showtime’s BILLIONS season 5 is now casting basketball players in New York.

Casting directors are now casting actors, models, and talent to work on scenes filming on January 7th through January 22nd in New York City.

Producers are seeking the following types:

  • Caucasian male, age range 30s-40s, 6’1-6’3 in height, 200-220lbs. Should be bald OR willing to shave head. Must have college level or higher basketball playing skills.

About Billions:

Wealth, influence, and corruption collide in this drama set in New York. Shrewd U.S. Attorney Chuck Rhoades is embroiled in a high-stakes game of predator vs. prey with Bobby Axelrod, an ambitious hedge-fund king. To date, Rhoades has never lost an insider trading case — he’s 81-0 — but when criminal evidence turns up against Axelrod, he proceeds cautiously in building the case against Axelrod, who employs Rhoades’ wife, psychiatrist Wendy, as a performance coach for his company. Wendy, who has been in her position longer than Chuck has been in his, refuses to give up her career for her husband’s legal crusade against Axelrod. Both men use their intelligence, power, and influence to outmaneuver the other in this battle over billions. The high-profile cast is led by Emmy winners Paul Giamatti (“John Adams”) and Damian Lewis (“Homeland”) as Chuck Rhoades and Bobby Axelrod, respectively.
