SEEKING:

Robert Shaw: CAST - White, male, 47, 5’10. Great English actor renowned for his work in Shakespeare. Also a veteran of Pinter’s first few plays. Has recently started his American film career, notably in The Sting and The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. A heavy drinker and great raconteur.

Richard Dreyfuss: White, male, 27, 5’5, Jewish. Beginning his film career and has ambitions of being a great stage actor. Incredible frustrated with being stuck with an overbudget, overscheduled shoot for a film that seems destined to flop.

Roy Scheider: White, male, 42, 5’9. A former welterweight champion boxer. Has recently achieved success and an Oscar nomination in supporting roles. Much calmer than his two costars but none-the-less equally frustrated with the endless shoot.
