Seeking: OSCAR (31-40 Male) Can play quiet and strong, sense of humor, wry - Oscar is more abused than anyone at the store and he's fighting back by secretly spreading union pamphlets.

FELIX (18-24 Male) Tired, a little juvenile, a little sad, but a loveable, self-deprecating kind of sad - Felix does not like his job and will do anything to get home, even if he has to get fired. He doesn't want to work at a fast-food restaurant, but his parents force him to. STACY (18-24 Female) Strong; chubby, yet fast - really fast - sweating bullets, soldier-in-a-warzone, Stacy has to deal with the customers: juggling nitpicky orders, nasty complaints, and a cashier register that simply doesn't work.

Casting all roles for Untitled Movie about Long Island Sorority girls and Chinese druglords.' Comedy/Action Short Film (15 minutes). Fun action packed shoot in the Hamptons over President's Day Weekend. Apply to: Kristine Bogan, pictureboxentertainment@hotmail.com. Seeking: ZHOU (30s -40s, Chinese Male) a troubled introvert with fiery eyes and an empty heart. He is a rebel that plays by the rules until a better opportunity comes along. He comes from nothing, and has worked in the dirtiest of places to get where he’s going. He is impressed only by the wise, and scoffs at ignorance and naivety. CHONG LONG (50s-60s, Chinese Male) an old school gangster with a twist. Part Dr. Claw (the faceless cigar smoking kitty stroking badass, minus the kitty), part Joker (the wisecracking super villain armed with a witty comment and a painted face), CHONG LONG is the boss. He is as calm and comfortable as he is conniving and manipulative. When double- crossed he is a force to be reckoned with. His movements are sharp and determined, however delicate and agile.

He is a guard of justice and the principles of freedom. He has a strong sense of responsibility and moral values. CARLA (18-21, Female) "She rests her weight on one hip and covers her sleepy eyes with oversized Christian Dior sunglasses." She’s intense and overdramatic. Everything bothers her even though she doesn’t care about anything. She’s smart and imaginative, a dreamer and a schemer. She likes soft, sturdy materials and dark colors. She’s pretentious, but not judgmental. She appreciates unique qualities in people, and roots for the underdog. She believes in tough love. WHITNEY (18-21, Caucasian Female), the blond one. She’s a genuine kind of friendly and always says what’s on her mind. Wisdom sings through her small words. She appreciates and understands art but is not artistic. Her creativity lies in her abilities to make logical connections about things with no logical connection. You can trust her with a secret, and to tell you about that booger dangling from your beak. But don’t worry, Whitney’s got a tissue. COP (30s-50s, Male) Aviator sunglasses, doughnut crumbs, slow runner. Open for interpretation. Non-speaking roll. POLICE CHIEF (40s-60s, Male) He’s angry, loud, and knows everything. He spits sometimes when he talks. DETECTIVE (30s-50s, Female) Intense CSI type detective. Open for interpretation.
