Actors for PBS’s “Mercy Street”

Casting Call for Men for “Mercy Street” in Richmond, VA

Casting directors are looking for men for several shoots for the PBS television show “Mercy Street”. They need scruffy looking men who appear like they have been in hiding who are between the ages of 18 and 35 years old.

About the Series

The Original PBS series “Mercy Street” is from executive producer Ridley Scott. PBS describes Mercy Street as going “beyond the front lines of the Civil War and into the chaotic world of the Mansion House Hospital in Union-occupied Alexandria, Virginia. , Mercy Street takes viewers beyond the battlefield and into the lives of Americans on the Civil War home front as they face the unprecedented challenges of one of the most turbulent times in our nation’s history.

Set in Virginia in the spring of 1862, Mercy Street follows the lives of two volunteer nurses on opposite sides of the conflict: Nurse Mary Phinney (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), a staunch New England abolitionist, and Emma Green (Hannah James), a naive young Confederate belle. The two collide at Mansion House, the Green family’s luxury hotel that has been taken over and transformed into a Union Army hospital in Alexandria, a border town between North and South and the longest Union occupied city of the war. Ruled under martial law, Alexandria served as the melting pot of the region: with soldiers, civilians, female volunteers, doctors, wounded fighting men from both sides, runaway slaves, prostitutes, speculators and spies”.
