About the Job

CASTING FOR MABEL Female, 60s–80s. Open ethnicity. We’re looking for an unforgettable older woman with real charisma, confidence and comic timing. Mabel should feel effortlessly cool - someone with a strong sense of personal style, a little edge, and the kind of presence that immediately makes you curious about her. She’s culturally aware, expressive, sharp and completely comfortable in her own skin. She doesn’t feel like an older person trying to act young; she just naturally has taste, humour and attitude. Mabel’s comedy comes from deadpan confidence. We’re especially interested in talent with distinctive real-world style, an interesting face and a strong point of view. Big personality is great, but we want authenticity over polish. Key qualities: - 60s–80s - Magnetic, memorable screen presence - Excellent natural comedic timing - Confident and mischievous without becoming cartoonish - Stylish, expressive and culturally fluent - Comfortable with subtle physical comedy and improvisation - Able to play completely innocent while obviously causing trouble - Strong personality and personal style encouraged. Overall vibe: Sweet on the surface. Trouble underneath. Talent will be Silent-On-Camera.
