SEEKING ACTOR FOR ONE-OF-A-KIND ROLE IN NONLINEAR VIDEO PROJECT

My thesis project is a unique web-based virtual experience that explores the interrelationship between thoughts, emotions, and human experience. It features a "universal" man who absorbs the collective consciousness of its users and society at large. His face, available for viewing 24 hours a day, displays a variety of evolving emotions based on the thoughts he receives and the experiences created from those thoughts.

I am looking for an actor, preferably male and in his 30s or 40s to play the part of this "universal" man, who epitomizes the look of someone who lives and works endlessly in the American suburbs - an "American Splendor" type who has both melodramatic and comedic capabilities in displaying facial expressions that will be recorded in a special way on video tape. This is quite different than a typical linear narrative, and will involve only a few hours or less of performance time in front of a blue screen.

In return, I can promise you a personal video copy of your performance in context to add to your reel.

If interested, please send a response to iaspangler@yahoo.com with a headshot and resume in electronic format.

Thanks!

Thank you for you consideration.
