Details:

Polterguys is a web series being filmed around South/ Central London. It is about two flatmates (Daniel and Jim) accidentally bringing their friend (Antony) back from the dead. Actors will need good comedic timing and a lot of energy. Filming will be on-going, so actors will need to be available at short notice. (Between 2-4 weeks’ notice). Everyone who auditions will most likely have a role in the series and characters can be added if you particularly stand out.

Daniel (Male, playing age: 20-25). Daniel is the main character in the series. He is a normal, everyday guy. He is the person in the group that gets things done and has most of the responsibility, as he is the only one with a job. His personality does change when he is with certain characters; which shows that he can be easily influenced by other people. When he is with his friend Jim, he can turn into someone really immature and crude, whereas when he is with Antony, he is caring and sensitive. Daniel has recently been dumped by his ex, Daisy and is desperately trying to get her back. This is where most of this character’s comedy comes into play. When he is talking to her, his excitement of her can often come across as needy and creepy.

Daisy (Female, playing age: 17- 23). Daisy is Daniel’s ex. She is a snobbish girl that constantly thinks she is better than others. She is more about image and trying to be unique than having friends or following the crowd. When the audience see Daisy, they should immediately think of her being a ‘hipster’.

Samuel (Male, playing age: 25- 35). Samuel is the main antagonist of the series. He is a tall, largely built black man. The actor needs to look scary and intimidating. Samuel is a ghost hunter and will stop at nothing until he ‘rids the world of evil’.

Pip (Male, playing age 14-20). Pip is a cockney ghost from Victorian England. He is very young. This actor needs to be able to do an old British/ Cockney accent.

Mary (Female, playing age: 18-23). Mary is Daisy’s less attractive friend. She tries very hard to be like Daisy in the way that she dresses and behaves, but fails. She has a soft spot for one of Daniel’s friends and can switch very quickly from being sweet to annoying and disturbing.

Michael (male, playing age 20-30). Michael is Daisy’s current boyfriend. He is very pretentious and cares about himself more than anyone else. When the audience sees Michel, they need to immediately hate him.

Extras (any)- Throughout the series we will need crowds of people in various situations. There will be both speaking and non-speaking roles for extras. Throughout the series many extras will be reused for different scenes and minor characters will be reused for comedic dialogue.
