PEOPLE WHO SPEAK VIETNAMESE
CASTING TV SHOW FOR HBO
We are searching WORLDWIDE for people who SPEAK VIETNAMESE fluently to be cast as a series lead in an upcoming series from HBO and Emmy and Oscar-winning A24 Productions, “The Sympathizer.”
NO ACTING EXPERIENCE REQUIRED – OPEN TO EVERYONE!
We are now casting multiple lead roles for this series, based on the Pulitzer Prize winning book by Viet Thanh Ngyuen.
Please submit if you think you are a fit for any of the roles listed below.
ROLES:
THE CAPTAIN
Male / Late 20s to early 30s / Half Vietnamese, Half Caucasian. Slender. Charismatic, witty and intelligent. Sensitive with an edge / darkness to him. Believable he could carry a secret and also have a violent side to him. A refugee from conflict in the North, he works in counterintelligence for the South Vietnamese army but at the same time is a double agent for the Viet Cong. Educated in America.
Must speak fluent Vietnamese and fluent English (both flawlessly). Ability to speak some French a plus. SERIES LEAD. MULTI-YEAR DEAL. NUDITY, SEXUAL SITUATIONS AND SIMULATION REQUIRED.
LANA
Female / age 18 – early 20s / Vietnamese. The General’s eldest daughter. Forced immigration from Vietnam accelerates her rapid maturation from sulky teen to seductive songstress. She’s salty, she speaks her mind, and she’s pragmatic. She embraces the promise of her new country and its evolving liberal morality. Must speak flawless English (as she wants to pass as American). Ability to sing is a plus. Dancing skills are a plus. SERIES LEAD. MULTI-YEAR DEAL. NUDITY, SEXUAL SITUATIONS, AND SIMULATION REQUIRED.
THE GENERAL
Male / Mid 40s to mid 50s / Vietnamese. Head of the South Vietnamese Secret Police, a Christian and an epicure (though not necessarily in that order). Paranoid, hen-pecked and proud to an almost ludicrous degree, he is an ardent believer in the American Dream and, if cornered, a dangerous patriot. Perfect posture. A leader of men. Can be dangerous, but there’s a pathetic side to him as well. A bit of a Napoleon complex.
Must speak fluent Vietnamese (Southern dialect). Must speak some English (but doesn’t have to be perfect). SERIES LEAD. MULTI-YEAR DEAL. SOME NUDITY REQUIRED.
BON
Male / Late 20s to early 30s / Vietnamese. Should look physically strong. Not traditionally handsome. A face with lots of character. A devoted friend, husband and father. His closest friend is the captain. A born soldier, a nationalist, a fearless fighter and, if necessary, a killer, but at the same time, sentimental. He has a wholesome love of violence. Gets into fights. Training in kung fu or taekwondo a plus.
Must speak fluent Vietnamese (Southern dialect). Must speak some English (but not perfect). SERIES LEAD. MULTI-YEAR DEAL. NUDITY REQUIRED.
MAN
Male / 30s to early 40s / Vietnamese. An effortless leader, who acts like a big brother to the Captain, and also as his handler for the Communists. He is protective and compassionate, an idealist, but also an ideologue with a dangerous zealous streak. Self-disciplined. A dentist by trade.
Must speak fluent Vietnamese. No English is required. SERIES LEAD. MULTI-YEAR DEAL.
CRAPULENT MAJOR
Male / 40s / Half Chinese, Half Vietnamese. An overweight, gregarious, social character. Comic ability. Very likable. An officer in the South Vietnamese Secret Police. He evacuates Vietnam with the General’s party to Los Angeles. Loves food and talking. Must speak fluent Vietnamese (Southern dialect). Must speak some English (but doesn’t have to be perfect). Ability to speak some Cantonese is a plus. SERIES LEAD. 1 YEAR DEAL.
