Bear City 2 Casting Call

I enjoyed being background on Men in Black III, so I signed up with some casting agencies. Got a particularly sexy call today:

BEARCITY 2

Director: Doug Langway
Writers: Doug Langway & Lawrence Ferber
Distributor: TLA Releasing
Location: Provincetown, MA & NYC

Synopsis: BearCity 2 is a hirsute "Sex and the City," following the funny, romantic, and occasionally dramatic adventures of our familiar characters, a group of bears and cubs in New York City. Tyler and Roger live as boyfriends in Roger's very plush penthouse in the trendy meat packing district. Roger has settled firmly into domestic life while Tyler, now 23, is getting a little . . . restless.

Michael, our big mama bear, has become a sought-after "heavyweight" Broadway producer and has invested his earnings in his hot, Latino boyfriend, Carlos' dream of opening a gay-sports bar in Manhattan. With Michael and Carlos both wrapped up in their careers they are unable to see that the technology they count on to stay "in-touch" is tearing them apart.

Our beloved Brent and Fred find themselves at opposite ends of the Bear Pride spectrum. Fred is excited about the chance to shoot a bear documentary, while Brent has had his fill of woofs, stuffed bears and flannel shirts. Can this documentary be the key to bringing this couple closer or will Fred's reluctance to commit finally push Brent away?

When Roger pops the question, and a reluctant Tyler accepts, the gang is thrust into a wild ride towards a wedding ceremony at the closing of Bear Week in Provincetown, MA. Can these couples hold their relationship together with 3,000 bears, a foam party and a few ex-boyfriends standing in the way? Or will true love prevail at a beach wedding in one of the most romantic and magical towns on earth?

RECURRING CAST: ROGER, TYLER, FRED, BRENT, MICHAEL, CARLOS, SIMON, RANDY, TED, MELVIN

SEEKING:

[ GABRIEL HALL ]
(mid 50s-mid 60s) Tyler's Dad. Heavy-set, hairy, well-dressed, silver-haired, proud military man. A creative thinker, realist and leader. Anyone is an equal to him as long as they are on his level. As an entrepreneur, he is a hard worker. He has come to Provincetown for Tyler's wedding.

[ NATHANIEL REED ]
(Early 40s) In shape, stunningly handsome, hairy man who oozes masculinity. He now lives in Provincetown and runs the Dune Tours. He has an image and certain swagger to uphold and expects everyone to look up to him. Deep down he wants to find the love of his life but is scared of being vulnerable. NUDITY: Shirtless

[ BIG DAN ]
(late 30s-early 40s) A big, beefy, "bear". Very masculine, ex-football player type. He has a tough exterior (probably from growing up gay in the Midwest), but a warm heart. He is reserved and respectful, looking for a lost love but always ends up getting screwed over by the young 20-somethings he falls for. NUDITY: Shirtless

[ RYNO ]
(late 30s) Caucasian, heavy, hairy, masculine. Probably grew up in the south, played linebacker (which is where the football nickname "Ryno" came from.) He is in a triad marriage to both Billy and Dean. NUDITY: Shirtless

[ BILLY ]
(early 30s) SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES. A very heavy bear. He is a "go with the flow" guy who is getting the best of both worlds in his relationship with Ryno and Dean. He is into sports and the outdoors. NUDITY: Shirtless

[ DEAN ]
(late 20s) African American. Muscular bear. He isn't afraid to stand up to people and push their buttons. A bit aggressive and is attracted to very big guys. He is newer to the marriage triad with Billy and Ryno. NUDITY: Shirtless

[ REGGIE ]
(early 30s) Fred's ex-boyfriend. A well-built hipster cub/bear. He is passive aggressive and can be a bit of a jerk. He is now married to Don who apparently has become Fred's replacement.

[ DON ]
(early 30s) SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES. Well-built muscle bear. Very cute. Reggie's husband who is introduced to Fred.

[ SAM ]
(early 40s) SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES. Very attractive muscle bear. Officiate at the wedding of Roger and Tyler. [Ed. note: Because God forbid an ugly man marries them.]

(mid 40s) A shorter, thinner man with a goatee. Married to Cole for many years. We see them walking hand in hand when approached to talk about their relationship for the Bear documentary.

[ COLE ]
(late 40s) Stocky man. Maybe salt/pepper beard look. Married to Gary for many years. They are adorable together. When approached to tell the story of their relationship for the documentary, Gary is reluctant to talk about it, but Gary convinces him. [Ed. note: Gary might be schizophrenic too.]

[ KEN ]
(mid 30s- 40s) Caucasian. A salty, angular, mega-hairy guy who runs a private whale watching tour company with his partner, Jake. They take Brent and Fred out on a tour. NUDITY: Shirtless, Rear

Dear Writers:

Here's a free line of dialog.

MISC. GAY MAN: I won't say Ken has a one track mind, but when we had sex he kept yelling, "Thar she blows!"

You're welcome.
