Principal (PP)CRICKET PLAYERS (MULTIPLE ROLES, South Asian, MaleMale 18 - 40 Years old
Description
Looking for a wide diversity of South Asians identities.

?  Unique, distinct and interesting personalities encouraged to apply.
?  Fit, athletic, believable as a sports player.
?  Basic knowledge of cricket preferred.

For your self-tape:
?  Please tell us about a favorite cricket memory of yours.
?  we’d like to see actors yell out “Howzaaaat?” in the following tones/scenarios:
1) Extremely excited, glued into the game, and clearly overjoyed.
You’re watching the game when suddenly you hear the sound of a wicket and the bowler appealing with a
loud “howzat?” This could mean victory for the team you love. You’re excited. On the edge of your seat,
you echo the bowler’s “howzat” with a loud “howzaaaat?” of your own.For this, we’d love to see big
smiles and big anticipation.
2.) Passionate,competitive, and borderline aggressive.
You take your cricket a little too seriously— the type that rages at TV screens during games. You’ve been
holding back your intensity, hoping your team can score some wickets, when the bowler appeals with a
loud “howzat?”
Your team needs this. With all your energy, intensity and aggression, you jump to your feet, yelling
“howzaaaat?”
3.) Unexpectedly emotional.
In a game where your team desperately needs a wicket, you watch as the opposing batsman goes for a
sixer. As the ball flies to the boundaries, you pray for a catch-out. You watch as a fielder makes a last
minute dive for the ball. He catches. It’s low to the ground. The bowling team yell “howzat?” So do you:
“howzaaaat?”
As you yell, you feel an unexpected release of emotions. You let the emotions run. As the umpire calls a
catch-out, you feel it all. This victory is personal.
4) In addition, please perform the following scenario:
You’re comfortably sitting back, relaxing in your living room, when all of a sudden a distant call catches
your attention: it’s the sound of someone yelling “howzat?!” Your ears perk up at the sound. It awakens
something instinctive in you.
We see the intensity build in your eyes, twitching slightly as you hold yourself back— until you eventually
give in, and jump to your feet, yelling “howzaaaat?”
