About the Job

PETER (Male, 30s to early-40s, East Asian or mixed East Asian) NYC local hire preferred. A thoughtful, emotionally intelligent professional with an easy warmth that makes people feel seen. Kind, curious, and quietly confident, Peter forms an unexpected friendship with an older colleague, Zeenat, that becomes the catalyst for her emotional awakening. A devoted father to a six-year-old with another child on the way, Peter is happily married and never intentionally flirtatious. His warmth, attentiveness, and genuine curiosity simply invite connection. The chemistry between Peter and Zeenat lives in the smallest moments—pauses, glances, humor, ease, and the pleasure of being truly listened to. Seeking a strong dramatic actor with exceptional subtlety, emotional availability, natural warmth, and excellent listening skills. This is a restrained, nuanced performance; we are particularly interested in actors who can communicate a rich inner life without overplaying the emotional or romantic connection. Please submit a headshot, résumé, and reel. Naturalistic dramatic material strongly preferred. Selected actors will be invited to self-tape with sides. No nudity or explicit sexual content required.
