Comic Book Jobs: Toys, Actors And Taxes!
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Action Figures, Editorials, Movies, Independent,
Is there a hint of Geppetto in your gene pool? Can you design and build your own toys? If so, there's an opportunity for you at 1821 Comics (that's the new L.A.-based comic book company that's working with Stan Lee on The War).
They're looking for a Toy Developer to design and build prototypes for toys and action figures "related to our various graphic novel properties."
I've worked with toy designers before and given the nod to various prototypes, including a character I co-created called, oddly enough, Prototype. It's fun. It's like watching Michelangelo sculpt Aquaman.
An "action/comedy web series" has sent out a casting call for non-union actors to appear in Deathfist Ninja Gkaiser. The short film will pay "homage to Japanese tokusatsu shows (i.e. Power Rangers, Kamen Rider, Godzilla)."
In addition to the standard human roles, they're looking for actors to play Dark Shinobi, the Butterfly Ninjas, and Dragon Sage Siyoki. My acting experience is limited to eating a Caesar salad at an L.A. dinner theater but I'll definitely want to see this when it's online.

Comic Book Jobs: Checking Out Craigslist
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials,
As regular readers know, I’m a lover of Craigslist and its many opportunities that sound just like employment. Here are a few recent ones:
Are you an actor who can play “normal” in a superhero world? Mild Mannered is a new live action superhero web series, and they’re casting. “Mild Mannered is a story about a group of normal people attempting to live their lives in the midst of a fantastical comic book world as best they can.”
If you’d like to pursue your acting career on the other coast, there’s a company looking for a male actor to star in a “fantasy website catering to comic book fans.” You’ll be “acting out comic book style stories while dressed in super hero/villain costumes.” But your face’ll be covered up in case you want to keep your involvement a secret. There’s no nudity, but it’s “a very active role where there will be simulated fighting/wrestling choreography” and some “implied sensuality and simulated fighting/wrestling,” during the one day six-hour shoot.
