Description:

ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. Casting call for "Terror Rising," an original drama series, looking for a female actress. See more details below. About the project: Missy is a recurring character at the heart of Terror Rising — and the most complicated woman in the series. She is sharp, funny, selfish, and capable of real love that she consistently fails to show. Addiction has carved away the mother she could have been, but it hasn't erased the woman she is. She runs her mouth, she works the room, she takes what she needs — and somewhere underneath all of it, she knows exactly what she's done to the people who needed her most. Missy is not a villain. She is not a cautionary tale. She is a fully realized woman living inside the wreckage of choices she's still making — and fighting, in her own broken way, to find her way back. Rate: This is an unpaid role. All cast members will receive full credit, a copy of the finished project, and the opportunity to be part of a serious, professionally produced drama series from the ground up. If interested, to be considered for the role of Missy, please send the following: Your name and contact information Headshot An NDA is required before any script materials are shared.
