Caucasian Male, 70’s. THINK YOGI BERRA TYPE. We are looking for an Upper east Side/ Upper West Side…classic New Yorker in his 70s’ who’s been born and bred in NY. A guy who is a bit of a raconteur/ story teller. In the spot, He has been chosen to take part in a relay because he is a bit of a New York “ambassador” . In the spot he’ll be holding the torch like in the Olympics (but it is filled with beer) going through the streets of NY. He needs to be a great, natural storyteller. …someone who would strike up a conversation with someone on the street. WE DO NOT NEED A SEASONED ACTOR. We would rather a genuinely outgoing person for this who’s not trying to ‘play the role’. He doesn’t have to be an athlete. In fact, he shouldn’t be one. He can just shuffle along with the torch - which is funny! He should definitely NOT be a good looking actor - more like a characterful, genuine person who has had this honor bestowed upon him.

WARDROBE: Please have talent wear T-Shirt and shorts and running shoes to the audition. No big logos. Nothing fancy. Something he would wear to go jogging in (again, he does not need to jog!)

There is a lot of copy in this spot (FUNNY!)
