Once Upon a Kingdom - A Fantasy/Animation Short
JohnKatona for Lord Percival
Lord Percival is the lord travelling with the entourage. In many ways he’s spoiled, but he’s also a kind person at heart who rarely means to do anyone harm. He’s also quite the nervous man, and can be a bit clumsy and bumbling at times.
We’re looking for a male actor who can sound polite and kind, while still having a hint of nervousness to them.
(Here, he’s arguing with Grums to be let out of his carriage.) “Yes, well- (noticing Sir Gawain, and turns to him) Ah! Sir uh, Gawain! I was just telling our, uhm, friend here how I'd like some fresh air.”
(This line is preceded by a long awkward silence, so try and say it as awkwardly as possible! Preferably still quite politely.) “Well, I guess I'll just uhm, get back in my carriage then.”
Thank you for auditioning! We'll wait with casting all the roles until the deadline has passed, but we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
Thank you.
