We're currently looking to cast a stage actor for an exciting project. The project involves several filming days in August for a short corporate film for one of our clients, followed by a one-day live event in London in November, where the same actors will perform an on-stage acted phone call. You must be able to attend both.
At this stage, there is no future usage so we are considering a rough budget of £700-£800 per day as a day rate for the actors' time, with any expenses / diems agreed in advance.
Both the filming and the live event will take place in London, and as such we are looking for actors based in London who won't require overnight accommodation.
Please apply ASAP and make sure you have a showreel or link on your profile where the client can see your acting skills.

Currently no plans for usage post event of any material created with the character of Akshay Timmins
· The castign brief for this character is:
Akshay Nayak, aged 43, serves as Timmins’ Chief Information and Security Officer, having joined the company just four months before the major cyberattack. He inherited an outdated IT structure from his predecessor, who retired after 42 years with the firm. Formerly in a senior London role, Akshay relocated to be nearer his aging parents in Hull. Highly intelligent and deeply experienced, he is humble, quiet and unassuming—never one to raise his voice. He recognises that Timmins’ current IT systems are inadequate and faces the challenge of working under Managing Director Ralf Timmins, who resists change and investment in technology. Ralf, finding Akshay scruffy and overly focused on detail, has yet to warm to him, preferring his long‑serving predecessor.
