Shooting the hour-long series pilot "Jaded" for the CW network & it's set in the burgeoning Japantown/Koreatown/Chinatown scene with hip Asian characters making it in NYC. We are looking for fresh-faced Asian actors for the lead & supporting roles. You must be between the ages of 21-40, Asian & youthful in looks & attitude.Wait, am I reading this right? Somebody is actually trying to make a network TV drama centering around Asian American characters, played by actual "fresh-faced Asian actors"? I've been trying to find some more information about this project, but all I'm coming up with is this same casting call.
ALL ACTORS MUST BE BASED IN NYC &/or TRI-STATE AREA. MUST SPEAK FLUENT ENGLISH (AMERICAN DIALECT )WITH NO ACCENTS & MUST BE LEGAL TO WORK IN THE USA. Pays SAG scale rates, so those selected would be paid approx $500 for the shoot and there is additional compensation if they are cast in lead roles.We will lens in the early Fall. Reply with your head & full body shots &/or portfolio/demo reel links.
Is this casting call legit? Who's working on this? Anyone out there have more information about Jaded? Pass it along!
UPDATE: Some folks I know have done a little inquiring around about this project, and the CW people they've talked to don't know anything about it. Someone might be working on a spec show to sell or pitch the project. Do what you will with this info.
