Drop an email to HR at some of the Canary Wharf/London based banks - they have wives and kids.

There is also TD Bank - the Canadian one - based in London.

Also a good place for budding thesp's with american accents would be the teaching staff of the American School in London - based out in St. Johns Wood.

You never know, it might prove useful.

I've put on some weight and can be very obnoxious - all I need to do is fake the accent

Would you apply if it said only those with no legs were applicable?

Being legless is not a nationality - excepting the Scottish of course.

Film industry is exempt buddy - sue away.

If you need 'Asian Nationals for chop socky rip-off starring Jit loo and jacky Shan' then that's what you are free to advertise for.'

Don't Equity rules state something like "More than 5 spoken words and you need an Equity card?"
Still, it could be a good opportunity. My Northern , Lancashire, accent may not be acceptable.

 

[Goatman]

Nope, no Equity card required.

<sigh> for the benefit of the hard of reading, once more with feeling:

Must have a North American accent.

We are looking for all North American's who can work in and around London area. (USA and Canada)
Must be currently living in London or surrounding counties.


So...last time I looked beautiful Lancashire's petition to Congress to become the 53rd State had yet to pass?

Serious job opportunity folks, albeit a few days work at best.......no Union card required. No fake Merkin accents please.
