Native Portuguese Actors (m/f/d) for a TV Commercial
“Private Seller” Concept
Male Role 1 – “The Private Seller”
Gender: Male
Age: Between 35 and 50 years old
Ethnicity / Look: Portuguese-looking, relatable everyday appearance
Language: Speaking role – must be a native Portuguese (Portugal) speaker
Character type: The grounded, everyday guy. A bit conservative looking.
Vibe: Approachable, expressive, with a touch of skepticism or dry wit
Acting: Strong acting ability with natural screen presence. Should deliver lines convincingly, show light comedic timing, and react expressively to absurd situations.
Performance Note: In key scenes, this character is confronted with strange behavior from a potential buyer. His reactions should feel authentic and subtly humorous — puzzled, slightly overwhelmed, but always relatable.
Male Role 2 – “The Weird Buyer”
Gender: Male
Age: Between 45 and 55 years old
Ethnicity / Look: Portuguese-looking, quirky and visually distinctive
Language: Speaking role – must be a native Portuguese (Portugal) speaker
Character type: Quirky, expressive, and visually memorable – must look great in unusual or “off” clothing and be confident and serious in abnormal situations.
Vibe: Unpredictable and intense in a funny way – the kind of person who takes himself seriously while behaving in totally unexpected, borderline absurd ways.
Acting: Strong comedic instincts, confident with physical comedy and timing. Must deliver lines while staying fully in character, using facial expressions and body language to add depth to the humor.
Performance Note: In this role, the buyer closely inspects a car in an exaggerated, almost obsessive way — as if he’s judging every detail. He holds a dog in one arm, dresses oddly, and speaks with conviction. He later jumps into a negotiation, offering a price far lower than expected. His presence is meant to be humorous, annoying, and surprising all at once. The actor should be comfortable playing a big character while keeping it grounded and believable.
