Casting Directors are looking for actors to fill the following SPEAKING roles:
WARDEN – 30’s, Caucasian, a British warden aboard the prison ship H.M.S. Jersey. He resists when Robert Rogers questions him about the prisoners aboard his ship. He eventually complies, but not before complaining about the diversity aboard his ship, a snide remark meant for Rogers’ companions who are Native American and African Born. British accent mandatory.
JOSHUA LORING – 40’s, Caucasian, British Commissary of Prisoners, he haggles with Robert Rogers over the price of one of his prisoners. He feigns reluctance at setting free a POW until Rogers names the right price. British accent mandatory.
ADJUTANT – 20’s, Caucasian, a Continental responsible for delivering an urgent report to a superior. His accent should have a British flavor to it, somewhere between an English and an American accent, reminding us that the colonies were still very tied to England and that these families had only been here for a few generations.
