PLEASE SHARE with FRIENDS and FAMILY!
ROLE DETAILS
Project Description: Comedy web series; live-action; casting to shoot 2 out of 8 episodes in November. Created by Emmy Award winner and renowned writer/director ADAM RODGERS & THOMAS VENTIMIGLIA.

More under Project Description.
It is the creators’ intention to employ the lead actors cast in the pilot for the remaining 7 episodes of the season.
Seeking: Further Role Descriptions.
Howard, African-American, Male, Age 35-45
Union and Non-Union Talent
Howard is a Special Agent for the USDA, Animal Loan Fraud division. But for now, he’s either on indefinite paternity leave or he’s been fired by his wife, who just so happens to be his division chief. With his sidekick and newborn, Reggie, he’s Turf Valley’s resident spy master. He’s the epitome of justice and punctuality as he tracks the evil forces of Turf Valley with the tenacity of chronic diaper rash. He may be sidelined by Dad duty right now, but one day, TURF VALLEY WILL BE HIS. See Further Role Descriptions above.
Jason, Caucasian/Ethnically Ambiguous, Male, Age 35-45
Union and Non-Union Talent
Of Jason, people usually say “For a stay-at-home dad with four kids under 7, he sure looks like shit. At least his wife makes bank.” But what they don’t know is that Passion is Jason’s middle name… literally. Jason knows a ton of stuff, but nothing he could turn into a career. (He envies Cliff Claven from Cheers, because at least he gets to wear a uniform.) And don’t be fooled! Jason’s tale is one for the hero books. His quest to join the Turf Valley Homeowners Association–if successful–will finally allow him to tell the world, “I matter.” (But he won’t.)
Tyler, Caucasian/Ethnically Ambiguous, Male, Age 35-45
Union and Non-Union Talent
Life’s been easy for Tyler. Maybe too easy. His good looks have made his wedding guitar business profitable, but it never brought him true rock n’ roll stardom. He’s divorced, with twin 6 year-old daughters and an ex that just bought a house down the block. Still, that inner feeling of coolness will not be dimmed! Okay, sure, maybe he’s not that bright. And yes, those good looks are fading. And yes, he’s totally unprepared for the challenges of suburban fatherhood. But dammit, he’s going to keep those girls away from men like him if it’s the last thing he does.
“Athletic Guy”, Any Ethnicity, Male, Age 30-50
Union and Non-Union Talent
Preferably over 6’2 and built like a football player. Would love a real ex pro player. Speaking Role.
