  • Role #1 - Ricard
    Apply to this Audition/Job

    Ricard is a wiry, glasses-wearing immigrant trying to make it big in the United States. He works as an artist at a tattoo parlor, which is how he is barely able to scrape by. He loves his son and works hard to provide for him, but is ultimately frustrated by him. He soon becomes very sick throughout the film; vomiting, night terrors, and even having bizarre and vivid hallucinations. Although he tries not to show it in front of Palu, he is at his core a very nervous and terrified man, caught in the clutch of something beyond his control.

I got my first response and as you can see, I was accepted, I got acting role in a film! How many people get that from other agencies? I thank you time and time again as I know I will get more and more parts in the future. and thank you SO MUCH for making the proscess so easy clear and simple and your continuous willingness to help us learn the ropes of submitting for auditions. Its TRULY a pleasure to use your services, even if I only got free roles, its STILL well worth it to pay for your services. Blessings to all of you and thank you again, [huge hugz] sincerely, Delicious Vodka DeBlair
