“The Crown” is on the hunt for its next Prince Harry.
The prestige Netflix series that follows the trials and tribulations of the modern Windsor dynasty is casting a wide net to find the perfect actor to play the teenage prince on its sixth and final season. An open casting notice was posted on Twitter last week by British Youth Music Theatre, calling on actors between the ages of 16 and 20 who bear “a strong physical resemblance” to young Harry to submit an audition tape.
The casting director and producers of the show emphasize that “no previous professional acting experience” is required to land the role.
Applicants are asked to submit a “selfie,” some biographical details and a short 30-second video talking about something they love doing (videos shot on an iPhone or android are fine, they note).
The notice also states that the actor cast to play Prince Harry will begin filming in the UK in November.
