ODD SQUAD AUDITION PACKAGE SYNOPSIS:
From the producers of “Dino Dan” and “Annedroids”, “ODD SQUAD” is a
live-action series that follows the adventures of two kid agents as they
investigate weird activity in their town and figure out how to put things right
again.
ODD SQUAD is a government agency run by kids in suits equipped with
the world’s most advanced and unpredictable gadgetry. Whenever anything
strange or unusual or just plain nuts (including giant nuts falling from the
sky) happens, it’s Odd Squad’s job to put things right again. Odd Squad has
a fun, goofy and irreverent style that includes sight gags, one-liners, absurd
situations and plenty of slapstick. Also embedded in each Odd Squad case is
a math concept aimed at 1st graders.
SEEKING:
AGENT OTIS - 10-12 years. MALE. Serious, rough around the edges,
fiercely loyal, agent of few words. Otis is a man of action, who recently
transferred to Ms. O’s squad. Where he was before his transfer is anyone’s
guess. Unlike his partner, Otis plays things close to the vest. Just because he
doesn’t share his feelings, however, doesn’t mean he doesn’t care. There
seems to be a lot beneath the surface with Otis and he is constantly
surprising his partner with special skills and knowledge and interests. Like
his intense love of kittens. SERIES LEAD. WE ARE OPEN TO SEEING
