Casting actress 40-45

I'm shooting a legal industrial video next Sunday, May 31st and I have to re cast the role of "The Client," wondering if you could refer anybody and/or pass the word along. "The Client" is a woman, any ethnicity, appearing to be in her mid 40's. I need an actress who can handle the material as this character gets very emotional during the scene.

Please be advised this is a non union, paying gig.

If you know of anyone who fits and is available and interested can you please have them contact me via email. Have them send pics/resumes to:

slimjimhuffman@gmail.com.

I'd LOVE to be able to do this without coordinating an official casting session... i know it's a long shot, but I thought I would reach out to friends and followers first... oh... and the sooner the better.

Thanks, and have a great weekend!

Here is a snippet of the script to give you some idea of the scenario...


Jordan: so I guess we can get right down to it. You got fired, right?

Chris: Well, not really fired. It’s not like I did anything wrong. My job got eliminated because when the company got bought out, because they already had enough account executives.

Jordan: You do realize this is an employment at will state?

Chris: What?

Jordan: They can fire you without a good reason.

Chris: That may be true, but when I got my promotion they made me sign a contract. The contract said that if they let me go without good cause, I would get a big severance package. Now they are saying I can’t have the money because I was complaining about the new rules with some co-workers. That can’t be good cause. Don’t we have free speech in this country?

Jordan: Constitutional law doesn’t apply to this.

Chris: What about contract law? When I got that promotion, I thought I was safe and I bought a house. Now I am losing everything.

Jordan: Can I see the contract?

Chris should be visibly upset.

Chris: I don’t know where it is. I had to move. It got packed. LOOK. YOU HAVE TO HELP ME!
