Actor (m/d) as "father" for a commercial

What to expect:

You play a customer in a store and react to various things that happen around you - with facial expressions, gestures and small interactions with virtual objects.
The role is without spoken dialog.

How to apply:

Please send us an e-casting video.

We're also happy for you to film the application at home! It's easier for you and we're only interested in seeing how you play and how you solve the task. The trappings don't matter now!

Deadline for your e-casting: Friday, 30.01.2026 at the latest

Important: No reimbursement of travel expenses, ideally you should come from southern Germany

What you bring

• Male, suitable age for a father role, playing age 35-45 years

• Open, expressive face

• Acting experience is an advantage, but not a must

• Reliability and desire to shoot

E-casting:
Short personal introduction

Please say into the camera or cell phone

• Your name,

• Your age

• And your hobbies

• Previous experience in front of the camera (if any)

Please say everything once into the camera so that we can see your face close.

Then please do a second run-through in which we see you completely (from head to toe). 

(you can simply speak the same text again)

After that, please play the following scenes:

Imagine you are in a toy store. 

Unusual things are happening in the toy store. 

(later on, we will animate these magical things, so we will add them after the shoot - that's why you have to imagine them while playing).

What you play:

• Scene 1: You walk around between the shelves and look around. 

• Then you take a package/box from the shelf and open it. Inside the box is something really cool, like a bright light that only you can see. But we want to see your reaction and your facial expression when this happens.

• Scene 2: You are standing there normally. Suddenly, something magical appears above you. You look up and are delighted.

• Scene 3: You move around the store like a robot.

• Scene 4: Something swirls around right in front of you (imagine a small butterfly or something similar), you watch it and start to smile.

Very important: Please only speak during the introduction at the beginning!

Everything else - the play scenes - are completely without speech! 

The feelings - e.g. your astonishment or your joy - should only be told through your face (facial expressions), your gestures and body language. 

Totally without text. (please do not speak quietly either)
