Job description
We are looking for a man with acting experience for a supporting role in our commercials. You will play the supporting role alongside the lead actor and two other actors.
(Please record the scene below as an e-casting)
Role / Requirements profile
(See script below)
Male with (professional) acting experience
You will wear a full-body costume (face not visible)
Cheerful, clumsy yet endearing.
You need comedic timing, physical presence, and slapstick skills
Script—Please send us the following scenes as an e-casting:
1. Introductory video:
Briefly introduce yourself: What is your name, how old are you, and what is your acting experience? Tell us: Have you previously appeared in an advertisement for a competing product (e.g., other candy brands)? If so, for which brand and when? Show us your side profiles, full-body shots, and hands.
2. Scene 1
You’ll play the role of the skeleton! You’ll wear a costume during filming.
Self-Tape Scene – SKELETON (solo, without a scene partner)
SKELETON alone, speaking directly into the cell phone camera
SKELETON (cheerful, looking at the camera)
Hey there! It’s Skeleton here. A lot of people ask me, “How do you always have such a great attitude, even though you’re just made of bones?” Well. Soda, folks. Soda and good vibes.
(He holds up a pack of Ahoj Soda and shakes it.)
SKELETON
And of course: love.
(He pauses. For a moment, his smile narrows, becoming more genuine, almost sad.)
SKELETON (softer, sincerely)
All you really want is for someone to stick around. Forever. Is that too much to ask?
(Silence. Then he pulls himself together, grinning broadly again.)
SKELETON (exaggeratedly cheerful again)
Well, anyway: dig in, stay bubbly, and remember—
(He leans closer to the camera; for a second, his grin becomes too wide, almost eerie.)
SKELETON (suddenly shrill, urgent)
—I’ll be waiting here. I’m always waiting.
(He realizes he’s gone “too far,” and immediately laughs it off cheerfully.)
SKELETON (quickly back to being relaxed)
Just kidding! See you soon, folks.
Keep testing comedic warmth, timing, and that tipping point from endearing to slightly eerie—but this time without the dialect requirement.
