We’re casting for a series of short (15 second maximum duration), comedic social films set in a world where everyday life has been subtly overtaken by football fever. These films are connected to the World Cup and are in partnership with a well-known betting brand.

🚨 Important: Applicants MUST be aged 25 or over. We cannot legally consider any applicant below the age of 25 so please do not apply if you are not age appropriate.

These are naturalistic, relatable scenarios, office, meeting, garden and kitchen, where characters behave almost normally, but with small, absurd football-inspired instincts creeping in.

The tone is dry, observational and grounded, think The Office, The Thick of It, This Country. Performances should feel completely real and unforced, with humour coming from sincerity and commitment rather than playing for laughs.

We’re looking for natural performers who can deliver understated comedy, people who feel like real colleagues, partners, or shoppers, not “actors”. Subtle reactions, awkward timing, and lived-in authenticity are key.

➡️ CASTING DETAILS:
- Please submit your Casting Callback profile and demo reel for consideration
- Short-listed talent may be invited to self-tape

Content

We’re looking for a relatable, everyman type to appear across a series of short comedic social films. He should feel like someone you’d recognise from everyday life, a colleague, neighbour, or partner, with a natural, grounded presence.

Performance style is key: subtle, dry, and completely believable. Think The Office / The Thick of It / This Country, the comedy comes from sincerity, not performance. He should be comfortable with minimal dialogue, reacting naturally within simple, observational setups.

A strong sense of comic timing is essential, particularly in physical behaviour. The role requires the ability to play small, instinctive, slightly odd actions, driven by excitement around the World Cup, before catching himself and discreetly returning to normal. Actors should be able to land both very understated and slightly more heightened versions of this.

🚨 Important:

Applicants must be aged 25 or over by law. We will be carrying out DBA checks on all cast, so please only apply if you meet this requirement.
