Throwbot: The Karate Robot

Pre-Production for Throwbot officially starts on 15 JUN 25 with a fundraiser Live Table Reading w/Buff Bagwell. We are conducting a casting call on 1 JUN from 1-3 at Cité des Arts, in Lafayette LA. 
If you are interested in auditioning for the producers live, please send a headshot, resume, and which character you're audition for to casting@karaterobotmovie.com 

1 JUN 25 is for in person auditions. Information about taped auditions will be announced in a week.

This casting is for the LIVE EVENT, but auditions will be given priority casting for the film, which will shoot in the fall. 

CAST

Marshall - Principal - (18 - 30) (any ethnicity/gender) 
Marshall is a shy kid who just moved to town. He lacks confidence, and lets be honest, he doesn't even have to be that good of an actor. A robot is gonna do all the work for him. He is however, the main character. 

Maya - Principal - (18 - 30) (any ethnicity/gender) 
Maya is the star karate student. She's also a pop singer, model, actress, like the character is also fictionally an actress, and Marshall has a crush on her. 

Master Sensei - Principal - (18 - 85) (any ethnicity/gender) 

Master Sensei is a superstar "in his own mind." He was a movie star in the 70's, but when the 80's rolled around, Hollywood no longer needed a washed up karate master. Now he teaches karate in a strip mall, to mostly white kids, and every class he talks about all the movies he was in. 

Bruce - Supporting - (18 -50) (any ethnicity/gender) 
He is a scientist. He's from the future. He's really smart, and I don't know what people are like in the future, because it's really different there. 
 

Jean-Claude - Supporting - (18 -50) (any ethnicity/gender) 
He's also from the future. Where Bruce is an optimist, Jean-Claude is a real downer. He's Bruce's co-worker.

Rupert - Supporting - (21 - 80) (any ethnicity/gender)

Rupert is a wise old bartender. Even though he doesn't know the karate moves, he may have some advice about karate life. 

Agent - Supporting - (18 - 80) (any ethnicity/gender)

Let's be honest, this is a really small role. It's the goofy sidekick to the main bad guy, but that main bad guy is Buff Bagwell. So you'd get to work with him the most. 

Throwbot - Basically a prop - (18-80) (any ethnicity/gender)

Throwbot doesn't have a lot of lines. They're the most important character, however, they'll be in costume most of the time. I need someone small, because smaller costumes are cheaper. If you'd like I'll tell the rest of the cast that it's Pedro Pascal inside the robot suit. 

There are various 1-2 line characters that fill out the world. If this is one of your first acting roles, and you'd like to test the waters with a small part, just put general character, and we kind find something fun for you.
