Millions the series has just recently launched their casting call. In order to be eligible, you must be in Toronto (unless you’re willing to fly down here). Secondly, you must be non-union. No experience required. They’re offering $150 CAD per day of filming to the lead actors. The deadline for submissions is February 6, 2011. Read below for a recap of the series and the roles they’re looking for. We hear they need more Asian male submissions. (Any actors out in Canada?)

Synopsis of Millions the series
MILLIONS is the story of a crew of twenty-somethings in the picturesque suburban neighborhood of Adlard. Brandon (the dreamer) and his lifelong friends, Deron (the clown), Mary (the tomboy), Charlie (the cynic), Jay (the playboy), and Eddie (the brain), work mediocre 9 to 5 jobs, and waste away their nights bumming the streets aimlessly. The emptiness of their lives makes them apathetic, but not enough to do anything about it. Until a tragedy hits the group that sparks Brandon on a quest. In high school, the group made a pact to become millionaires by the age of 30. It was a childish dream that faded with time. But after recent events, Brandon refuses to let it go any longer. He persuades his friends to join him in becoming the millionaires they once promised each other they’d be – and prove that dreams aren’t something so easily forgotten.

Principal Roles for Millions the series

* BRANDON (Male, 20 – 35 yrs, Asian/Mixed Asian)
Brandon is the dreamer. He is our every-man. He is intelligent, responsible, levelheaded, and extremely honest. He’s not an overachiever, but he has a burning desire to achieve more.

* DERON (Male, 20 – 35 yrs, Asian/Mixed Asian)
Deron is the clown. He is the life of the party, and full of energy and optimism to a fault, but very impressionable. He is a hip-hop DJ and that’s his passion. Skills in, or a strong knowledge of, hip-hop is a very big asset.

* CHARLIE (Male, 20 – 40 yrs, Asian/Mixed Asian)
Charlie is the cynic. He is moody and intensely critical, but worldly. Despite, his cynicism he has a sharp wit and sense of humour.

Jay is the playboy. He is smooth, witty, good-looking, and liked by almost everyone, especially women. But he’s flaky and lives life in the present.

* LIA (Female, 20 – 35 yrs, Asian/Mixed Asian)
Lia is the control-freak. She is a natural leader, but full of life. She’s stubborn and assertive, but falls victim to her big heart. She has more faith in people than she probably should. Her on and off boyfriend, Jay, is her kryptonite.

* EDDIE (Male, 20 – 35 yrs, Asian/Mixed Asian)
Eddie is the brain. He is quiet, extremely intelligent, works hard, independent, generous, and full of integrity. He doesn’t look it, but he is a very strong person inside.

* RON (Male, 25 – 45 yrs, Asian/Mixed Asian)
Ron is aggressive, bull-headed, egotistical, and loves power. But he’s extremely hard working and his arrogance stems from his achievements. He owns a successful downtown nightclub. He’s a bully, and his younger brother Deron, is his primary victim.
