Casting Call for The Discovery Channel’s “THE ASSAILANT”
THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL ANNOUNCES NATIONWIDE CASTING FOR THEIR NEW SERIES
“THE ASSAILANT”,
PRODUCED BY RENEGADE 83
“Human weapons” to compete in demanding challenges
8 November 2010: Sure, we see them on the big screen – super-human “armies of one” who wield state-of-the-art weaponry, outwit villainous masterminds, and barely escape life-threatening scenarios. But are there real-life versions of these operatives? Or are they only fictional characters that exist only in movies? With “The Assailant”, The Discovery Channel aims to find out.
Each episode of “The Assailant”, a new competition series produced by Renegade 83, the award-winning powerhouse producers behind some of the televisions most compelling programming, will feature four contestants competing in grueling challenges to find out who among them has what it takes to be the perfect “human weapon”. Viewers will have a front row seat to all of the action as “one-man armies” battle against one another in feats of physical strength, mental acuity, and “missions”: sophisticated adventures that simulate those depicted on the big screen, and that demand highly specialized skills and peak performance from both mind and body.
An intense nationwide search is currently being conducted to find contestants who have what it takes to compete in this type of series. Candidates must be physically fit enough to succeed in each ramped-up, high stakes, action-packed challenge. Marines, SWAT, FBI, Black Ops, rescue workers, Navy SEALs, stuntmen/women, firefighters, police officers, and anyone who think that they have what it takes to survive this adventure is encouraged to apply.
Interested applicants over the age of 18 who fit the criteria above should apply immediately. Please contact casting directors at Metal Flowers Media by emailingtheassailant@metalflowersmedia.com or by going to facebook.com/metalflowersmedia.
