About the Job

I need stunning portrayal of a young man in complete turmoil. Layers: 1. He deals with the fact that his son is born with a serious deformity 2. He disappears. When he returns he has a story of being kidnapped by a White Supremacist group. No one believes him especially his Caucasian wife and her family. His family doesn't believe him either however they support him. The pain of disbelief affects him in a big way. 3. The Scrutiny he receives after abandoning his child is huge. He is a young man with a sports management business. All the top stars under his tutelage start to leave his company. 4. The police decide to sue him for utilizing their resources I have created a character with stunning situations that require a deep, introspective performance. I don't want just to 'film' a project. I want to create a visual performance that is powerful. I want an actor that can deliver a superb portrayal of a man who has everything against him after two tragic, life changing moments. is their truth to his story. How will it destroy his marriage? Is he lying ********* Q. What was the greatest thing you learned during the Oscar Lead up Events? A: Oh there were a lot of lessons. I really felt proud too. Lot of emotion because I saw what Ryan and Michael were doing from Day one. When I heard early on that Ryan called Eddie Murphy and Stallone saying he had projects for them by way of his muse... I got it. Connection. There would be no Sinners in the way we see it today had there not been a path of success and connection created by these two. Most actors of today won't get this cause they are not about the business part of Show Business. They are more about SHOW and that's why a lot of them are struggling working multiple jobs. Brutal commentary but an absolute truth. I have seen a ton of would-be-superstars come to LA only to work three jobs or wash back to where they came. I bet if I met an actor who wanted art over success, they would be a star within 2 years...
