About the Job

Daniel Zwerdling is one of the most accomplished journalists in the United States whose career has spanned decades. In the 1980s, he was one of the first journalists to break the story that prior to the failed launch of the Challenger, engineers who worked for the Morton Thiokol company had been attempting to not only voice concerns for the safety and life of crew members regarding the launch but also to postpone the launch itself due to those concerns. We are covering historical events and theories surrounding the Challenger disaster. Please see reference photos, looking for someone with similar features. Actor will be playing him as a younger man. Please include reel or video work with submission.
