Casting Call: Netflix series seeks Asian Transgender Teen

For series regular role on Zal Batmanglij and Brit Marling's 'The OA'



Heads up. Got this casting call passed along to me... The creators of a new Netflix series are looking far and wide for an Asian American transgender teen actor (transitioning from female to male) for a major role.

The character, a 14-15 year-old teenager named Buck, will be a series regular on the Netflix drama series The OA, from filmmakers Zal Batmanglij and Brit Marling, and produced by Plan B and Anonymous Content. The premise is being kept under wraps, but Netflix reportedly won a bidding war for the top secret series.

Here's the casting call:

NEW NETFLIX SERIES SEEKING ASIAN TRANSGENDER 14-15 YEAR OLD ACTOR (TRANSITIONING FROM FEMALE TO MALE)

**OK TO SUBMIT IF YOU LOOK THIS AGE BUT ARE OLDER.

The character will be a series regular on an upcoming Netflix series from filmmakers Zal Batmanglij and Brit Marling (The East, Sound of my Voice). Produced by Plan B (12 Years a Slave, The Departed) and Anonymous Content. It will shoot in January 2016 for a few months likely in LA.

**NO ACTING EXPERIENCE NECESSARY

**CAN BE FROM / CURRENTLY LIVING ANYWHERE

If you fit this description, please send your name, current picture, age, where you currently live, and contact info to LUNARCASTING@gmail.com

In case you have concerns that this might not be the real deal or some kind of scam (let's face -- there are a lot of shady casting calls out there), series co-creator Zal Batmanglij has confirmed via Twitter that it's legit.



Good luck. I'm pretty curious to see this character how this character turns out.

The OA will premiere in 2016 on Netflix.
