This breakdown was originally released on Breakdown Services on June 16th. At that time, only the roles of Danny, Arty, Ruggero, and Edda were posted. These roles have now been re-released, along with 8 new character breakdowns. Previously only a U.S. casting director was attached. We have since brought on Canadian casting to help streamline the process for Canadian talent.

If your talent previously auditioned for any of the originally posted roles and is selected to submit a self-tape, you may re-upload the original tape — there is no need to record a new one unless otherwise requested.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out at tinamariecasting@gmail.com.
