Seeking:
[ GARRET ]
Searching for a performer to play late 20’s, Black. Male, American defensive football player. GARRET is a literal beast on the football field, but he is a proud, intelligent, gentle giant off the field. **Performers taller than 6’3”, weighing 240lbs or more, and can play physically imposing, are encouraged to submit.**
LOGLINE: Seven years after retirement, The Game, is set to dust off its Hall of Fame jacket and return to the field with a mix of original cast and new school players. While the iconic half-hour relocates from San Diego to Sin City, it will continue to serve as a modern-day examination of black culture through the prism of pro football. Be it racism… sexism… classism… or any other ism our team will tackle as they fight for fame, fortune, respect and love all while trying to maintain their souls as they each play The Game
