PLEASE send
only talent capable of playing the roles (although this one also needs a lot of
quirky “Napoleon Dynamite” actors for one-liners). Any actor that confirms an audition and does not show up
without an excellent reason will be put a ‘no audition’ list for the future. If
they can’t show up to an audition, I have doubts that they will show up on set
