Casting Calls, Auditions, and Entertainment Careers

CHRIS VARGAS (30) — LEAD

Latino (Mexican-American). Good cop on his last shift before quitting the force altogether—without ever firing his weapon. Grew up in Shadow Town; working in this school's library saved him from a completely different path. Devoted family man. Represents hope that people can escape difficult circumstances... and will have to come face to face with the fear that is the Lucha. 

Casting tier: Michael Peña, Manny Jacinto, Jesse Garcia

Looking for an actor who can not only bring humor and physicality to the role, but can also help market and promote the film before, during, and after production to their followers. 

GRISELDA "SELY" PEREZ (20s) — LEAD / FINAL GIRL

Latina (Mexican-American). Brilliant but trapped—works retail despite Ivy League acceptances. Daughter of imprisoned crime lord "The Angel of Death." Possesses deadly knife-throwing skills inherited from her father's world but desperately wants to escape that legacy - in order to do so, she'll need to survive the Lucha. Fluent in Spanish is a plus.

Casting tier: Melissa Barrera, Isabela Merced, Eiza González

We're looking for an actor who's not only great for this part, but who can help promote and market the film before, during, and after production to their followers. 

EDDIE ADDISON (40) — LEAD

Male, any ethnicity. Former rock star, current disappointment. Looks like someone who was cool before life caught up with him. He struggles to be the father his wife and kids need him to be, but there's a diamond in the rough. The role demands comedic timing, musical credibility, and the ability to reveal hidden depths.

Casting tier: Andrew Garfield, Domhnall Gleeson, Paul Dano, Nicholas Hoult

We are looking for an actor who can not only bring the chops to a meaty role, but also help promote the film before, during, and after production to their followers.

Female, any ethnicity. Interior designer, entrepreneur, control freak, devoted mother. Viv has a terminal diagnosis, but is determined to orchestrate her family's future from beyond the grave by finding a new wife to help her inept husband raise their two kids. Must convey vulnerability beneath competence. Awards-caliber role.

Casting tier: Emily Blunt, Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley, Rosamund Pike

We are looking for an actor who can bring not only the chops to a meaty role, but also help market the film before, during, and after production.
