Currently, Arvold Casting is seeking actors who look authentically from the Revolutionary War period for speaking roles.
If you don’t know, ‘TURN’ is based on the nonfiction book Washington’s Spies by Alexander Rose.
The story is centered on a band of young soldiers and civilians who were part of the secret spy ring during the Revolutionary War.

WARDEN – 30’s, Caucasian, a British warden aboard the prison ship H.M.S. Jersey. He resists when Robert Rogers questions him about the prisoners aboard his ship. He eventually complies, but not before complaining about the diversity aboard his ship, a snide remark meant for Rogers’ companions who are Native American and African Born. British accent mandatory.
JOSHUA LORING – 40’s, Caucasian, British Commissary of Prisoners, he haggles with Robert Rogers over the price of one of his prisoners. He feigns reluctance at setting free a POW until Rogers names the right price. British accent mandatory.
ADJUTANT – 20’s, Caucasian, a Continental responsible for delivering an urgent report to a superior. His accent should have a British flavor to it, somewhere between an English and an American accent, reminding us that the colonies were still very tied to England and that these families had only been here for a few generations.
