Casting Call – Male Actor (Ages 20–30)

We’re looking for a young male actor with a “geeky intelligence” vibe to play a tech surveillance specialist working deep inside Blackwater’s command room. He’s smart, focused, and knows how to work under pressure — but he’s not a field agent. He’s the brain behind the screen, constantly monitoring intel feeds and coordinating with Commander Daker.

Character Breakdown:

This character is a data and tech expert, fluent in high-stakes surveillance, hacking, and satellite tracking. He’s sharp, reliable, and fully committed to the mission. He’s one of the few civilians trusted inside Blackwater’s inner circle, and he knows more than he lets on.

Casting Details:

  • Gender: Male
  • Age Range: 20–30
  • Look: Lean, intelligent, “tech nerd” or “young analyst” appearance
  • Wardrobe: Must provide a black suit (modern/conservative style preferred) wear glasses, fake ones can be provided.
  • Scene Type: Works closely with Commander Daker in the command room, monitoring mission feeds and feeding tactical intel to the field. His speaking role may involve fast, clipped dialogue and high-tension data moments.
  • Personality: Smart, alert, low-key confident, focused under pressure.
  • Filming Date: Summer 2025
  • Location: MD/PA
  • Rate: Non-paid
  • Union: Non-union

This character is one of Victor Stonecore’s bodyguards, stationed in a watchtower overlooking the warehouse compound. The role involves a green screen shoot, with the actor being digitally composited into the tower scene.

  • Filming Date: Summer 2025
  • Location: Studio shoot with green screen – PA
  • Rate: Non-paid
  • Union: Non-union

Casting Notes:

  • Experience with action scenes or tactical movement is a plus.

Though not seen in the pilot episode, his presence is felt, and he will appear in later episodes of Season One in emotionally powerful scenes. This is a sensitive, recurring role requiring depth, subtlety, and heart.
