Casting call - supporting role "Dr. Knorr"
For a new episode of our web series, we are looking for a strong cast member for the supporting role of "Dr. Knorr" - an examiner who creates suspense through her presence alone and shapes the finale of a scene with a single sentence.
What's it about?
It's a humorous social media format about two chaotic set builders. In the new episode, a scene escalates shortly before the finale - until a mysterious examiner appears, who brings everything to a standstill with her calm, almost artificial seriousness. She speaks just one sentence. And that decides everything.
Your task: you play this taciturn, authoritarian character who creates maximum tension through her gaze, posture and minimal movement alone.
Age: approx. 30-60
Appearance: well-groomed, inconspicuous, neutral appearance (clothes fit perfectly. Sunglasses like to be oversized.)
No comedy charisma - you appear serious, calm, controlled.
The role: Dr. Knorr - The Examiner
Your gaze leads the scene. Minimal body tension, but targeted.
A single sentence with maximum effect: "This is the test book?"
Afterwards: look into the folder, nod, turn away wordlessly.
What you should bring:
Ability to be present without text
Experience with playing in silence and reduction
What you can expect:
Shooting location: Karlsruhe
Shooting period: mid-July 2025 (probably on 14.07.2025)
Shooting time: approx. 2-3 hours
Catering on set included
Travel expenses cannot be covered
Outfit:
Please bring: white blouse or shirt, dark fabric trousers
Optional: sunglasses with mirror lenses
We provide: Clipboard or tablet as a prop
How to apply:
Please send us your application by 30.06.2025
→ with info on your availability in mid-July
Audition & selection:
There will be a short online audition (approx. 10 minutes) via video call.
We would like to get to know you briefly - and test together how much tension you can create without words.
Any questions?
Just get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you.
