We are currently casting a male host for a History Channel series. It's an adventure travel show where we'll be going to some of the most dangerous places on the planet. If you fit the bill of our mandate listed below, please send a link to some of your on-camera work. Quality doesn't matter - even a quick youtube video showcasing your personality (not scripted acting work) would be great. Please also include a headshot and a bio. Submissions without a video sample will not be considered. Video should feature your natural hosting personality, not an acting reel.
Mandate:
•A middle America type tough guy - very Mike Rowe - with a HUGE charismatic and witty personality (can crack a joke without sacrificing manliness) - and not too "hosty"
•Aged 35-45, could picture him barbecuing outside or camping - outdoorsy type of guy
•Not the right fit if he's an LA pretty boy or a fast-talking New Yorker - so the kind of guy that doesn't mind getting dirt under his fingernails and not the type that gets them buffed
•Attractive in a rugged way - no baby faces
•Must come across as believable that he has knowledge of the outdoors - men across America must accept him as some type of authority
•A guy with a regular job (firefighter, construction, former athlete, former military, etc.) works better for us than a professional actor. But they must be great on camera.
•Inquisitive, sharp, and can think on his feet.
•PLEASE NO PHONE CALLS!!!
