"Join August Anderson, a light Wiccan, on his mission to save a non-Wiccan named Elizabeth from a dark Wiccan's curse. Elizabeth's life hangs in the balance as she is caught between life and death. John must harness his powers and knowledge to free her, in an emotional and suspenseful journey of determination and magic." Project Details

We are searching for an actor to portray an important character named John Anderson in a series. John is a tall, slim light Wiccan with blue eyes and a calm demeanor. He possesses a deep understanding of witchcraft and is protective and willing to do anything for those he cares about.

To be considered, candidates should be talented and intellectually engaged, capable of portraying John's protective and strong- willed nature and the challenges that come with the role. Understanding and respect for the portrayal of witchcraft and the occult in the story are important. Comfort with blended genres and supernatural elements combined with human drama is required. If the actor is a practitioner of Wicca or identifies as a light Wiccan, that would be an added benefit. Personal experience in witchcraft or spirituality could bring depth and authenticity to their portrayal of John, who is also a light Wiccan. As John, the actor would be responsible for bringing depth and nuance to a complex character who is protective and fiercely dedicated to those he loves. He must be comfortable with portraying a mixture of the supernatural and human drama, as well as exploring the themes of witchcraft and the occult.
