We are looking for an actor to fill the lead role in a mini-series. The log line for the series is: After witnessing his father’s murder, a troubled teen becomes entangled in a web of crime and danger as he seeks vengeance, leading him down a perilous path of secrets, grudges, and deception.
We are looking for a male actor of African-American descent, aged 16-19, with film and drama experience.
The character of Shy is a remarkably resilient and bright 15-year-old, who has had to shoulder the immense burden of an unforgiving world. His father’s absence and his mother’s addiction have forced him to mature at a young age, and he has had to witness firsthand how her concern revolves primarily around money rather than his well-being. The boyfriend she brought into their lives has subjected Shy to abuse, further testing his resilience.
Shy’s journey is one of transformation, shaped by the hardships he has endured. He possesses an unwavering determination to rise above adversity, refusing to be defined by his circumstances. With a tenacity that belies his tender age, Shy clings to the belief that he has the power to shape his own destiny, no matter how daunting the obstacles may be.
