Top Actor Talent Search Show Coming To South Africa
There is a new talent search show in the style of Class Act in the works for local and international broadcast. The show called Top Actor SA, is pitting ambitious, hungry-for-stardom young actors and actresses in the South African version of a competitive reality series, to fight it out to be the top actor in Mzansi.
Six Hollywood Experts ranging from Celebrities to Casting Agents to Directors will be part of the show to judge and work with the contestants.
Two established South African Movie Stars will serve as resident experts on the show .
Auditions for the contestants were held on the 18th of September at Urban Brews studios in Randburg Johannesburg, while a call for aspiring scriptwriters was made on the same week for submissions of scripts that will be used to challenge the contestants on the show.
Speaking of the scriptwriters submissions to be used on the show, the show's producer Camilla Anderson comments,
“This is an amazing opportunity to get your work in front of a huge local and international audience by showcasing your writing.”
The winner of Top Actor SA will walk away with:
- A $10,000.00 USD CASH PRIZE (R100 000)
- A ONE YEAR CONTRACT AS BRAND
- AMBASSADOR FOR A SPONSOR
- A ONE YEAR CONTRACT WITH A USA TALENT AGENT
The winner will also get a chance to try out for a role in a Hollywood film produced in South Africa alongside Morris Chestnut.
A similar format show, Class Act, launched the careers of Sdumo Mtshali, Yonda Thomas and Pallance Dladla. Top Actor could be just another platform for young actors to get the launching pad for their own careers.
The show is only at pre-production stages at the moment. No word yet on when it be be on air.
