Wanted: Grutte Pier!
Does Grutte Pier live in The Netherlands, Spain or even in Sweden? Omrop Fryslân and Steven de Jong Films are looking for an actor for the main role in a unique series about the life of Pier Gerlofs Donia; better known as Grutte Pier. The protagonist shouldn’t be just a regular person, the goal is to find a big guy with acting experience.
The search for probably the most legendary Frisian, Grutte Pier, is going to take place in and outside of the Netherlands. And that’s for a reason, says director Steven de Jong: “We are looking for a tall and heavily built guy, who can also act. But those are hard to find. That’s why we’re also looking outside of Fryslân.” The search is for a physically strong actor that’s at least 1.90 m tall (around 6 foot 3) in the age category of 30 to 45 years old.
The reason for the search is the series that director Steven de Jong will be making in co-operation with broadcasting station Omrop Fryslân, spread over a period of eight years. In eight episodes the series will tell the life story of the Frisian freedom fighter. Grutte Pier lived between 1480 en 1520 and was a farmer in the village Kimswerd. At that time there was a great civil war and Pier’s wife and children were murdered. During the eight episodes about the last eight year of his life, we get to see why Grutte Pier became Grutte Pier.
Men that meet the requirements of Grutte Pier can apply via: www.gruttepier.tv.
Applications can be filled out until October 15th 2018.
