Diversity Casting Call | Noah Guest Star Recurring


<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egYRQpUlRys">Noah - Happyland Audition</a>

Before I even start this post about the Happyland series id like to address a constantly recurring issue in Hollywood that most African American Actors and Actress will face. Now the breakdown specifically said that they were looking for an African American Actor for the role of Noah, however, Dana Gergerly Casting decided to audition everything but African Americans until the last part of the day. Now when I got to the Audition there were about 10 other African American Male actors to compete for the role of Noah. Prior to me being the first to have balls, and go in first there was countless Causcasian actors going in for the role of Noah. If you are reading this post, then you will know that this whole auditioning process is a pivotal part of the game in Hollywood...

So before I even awoke to brush my teeth Dana Gergely Casting had already made it up in their minds that they would see other ethinicity for this role, and then they'd get to the African American Actors. So they had their mind made up before I even stepped into the room. This is the *beep* that we African American Actors are subjected to....

Anyhow...

A few days ago I auditioned for the role of Noah. Noah makes his appearance in the second episode of the series. He is listed as a "guest star recurring" character, which means he will more than likely be in most episodes until the writers decide to write the character out... or in some cases the writers and producers can easily just upgrade Noah to a series regular.

Anyhow the plot of Noah is written to support the story-line of Lucy who's apparently having trouble with Ian. But back to the plot of Noah and Lucy...

Noah meets Lucy at an employee party in the "Happyland" Theme Park, and they almost immediately form a dynamic chemistry, which was initiated when Lucy spilled her drink on Noah.

Noah is interning at the "Happyland" Theme Park in the Marketing department. He's also a college student at Stanford. Lucy is currently in her last year of high school and needs Noah's assistance with the application and financial aid process. What Lucy and Noah have in common is their obvious mutual attraction as well as them both having not such a good family background.

Noah is also a PLAYER!!! :)

Sorry to hear that.

But Hollywood is notorious for being brutally competitive and difficult to enter into it. Good luck with your future endeavors.
