‘TURN: Washington Spies’ Season 2 Episode 5 Speaking Roles Casting Call

Date:

Richmond, Virginia Casting Call – AMC’s ‘TURN: Washington’s Spies’ Season 2 Episode 5 casting call for speaking roles in Richmond.

AMC’s television series TURN: WASHINGTON’S SPIES is filming in the Central Virginia area, and Arvold Casting is seeking actors who look authentically from the Revolutionary War period for speaking roles.

TURN is adapted from the nonfiction book Washington’s Spies by Alexander Rose. The story is centered on a band of young soldiers and civilians who were part of the secret spy ring during the Revolutionary War.

NOTE: Actors who are cast MUST be available for fittings in Richmond, Virginia NO LESS THAN 24 HOURS prior to their 1st scheduled work date, preferably 48 hours before. Where necessary, production will provide per diem and hotel on these days, but actors will not be paid for these days in accordance with SAG/AFTRA rules.

All principal (speaking) roles are either local hires (within 60 miles of Richmond, VA) or modified local hires (within 500 miles of Richmond, VA). In general, modified local hire means mileage reimbursement, lodging provided and per diem on work days only

Seeking the following speaking roles for episode 205:

[BILLY LEE] Male, late 20s, African American. General George Washington’s stocky, powerfully built personal valet. Has been Washington’s right hand man for 10 years and can manhandle a horse as well as Washington. A Virginia-born slave, his accent should have a period southern flavor. [CO-STAR, RECURRING]

[SUTHERLAND] Male, 30s, Caucasian. Handsome, confident Irishman with a mellifluous voice. Polished and suave, he tries to pass as a second class citizen. Authentic Irish accent required. [CO-STAR, RECURRING]

[LIFE GUARD] Male, 20s – 30s, Caucasian. Guard for the Continental army. His accent should have a British flavor to it, somewhere between an English and an American accent, reminding us that the colonies were still very tied to England and that these families had only been here for a few generations. [CO-STAR]

[SOLDIER] Male, 20s, Caucasian. A soldier in the Continental army with important news. His accent should have a British flavor to it, somewhere between an English and an American accent, reminding us that the colonies were still very tied to England and that these families had only been here for a few generations. [CO-STAR]

[SHANKS] Male, 20s-40s, Caucasian. A nervous, unkempt civilian with an important message for the Continental army. Sympathetic with an odd demeanor. His accent should have a British flavor to it, somewhere between an English and an American accent, reminding us that the colonies were still very tied to England and that these families had only been here for a few generations. [CO-STAR, POSSIBLE RECURRING]

[HOMELESS MAN] Male, 30s-50s, Caucasian. Character faces welcome. A drunk man in the streets of New York. His accent should have a British flavor to it, somewhere between an English and an American accent, reminding us that the colonies were still very tied to England and that these families had only been here for a few generations. [CO-STAR]

[REDCOAT] Male, 20s-30s, Caucasian. A British soldier in the streets of New York. Authentic British accent required. PHYSICAL AGILITY A PLUS. [CO-STAR]

[OFFICER YATES] Male, 40s-early 50s, Caucasian. A confident officer (warden-like) who conducts an interrogation. His accent should have a heavier British flavor to it, but remain somewhere between an English and an American accent. [CO-STAR, RECURRING]
