Production: Proud Mary
Contract: SAG-AFTRA Theatrical Agreement
Shoot Location: Boston, MA
Shoot Date: April 2017
Seeking performers able to portray the following character:
Danny (11 years old, male lead – open to all ethnicities*)
- Slim/scrawny physique
- A face that would break your heart—could be quirky, handsome, boy next-door, rough around the edges, not too “perfect” or model-esque
- Independent and combative
- Set in Boston, but no accent required at this time
- Danny has been forced to grow up too fast. After his parents were killed, Danny took to the streets, eventually taken in by an abusive drug lord. He is rescued by Mary (played by Taraji P. Henson) but the hard life that molded him is hard to put down.
- Actor capable of exceptional depth, substance and great emotional range
- Open to experienced actors from film and TV, and also new actors who can handle the emotional journey
