Seeking -

We are looking for a wide range of men and women ages 21 to 50.  We would like them to bring their best friend/spouse/sibling/coworker or ‘person’ that is just as adventurous and outgoing as they are. People that they have a strong bond or connection and conversation flows easily. We are looking for people who love adventure and love driving.  They are neat in appearance, great personalities, extroverted and are full of life.  They are also not afraid to voice their opinions especially to their friends. 

They currently do not drive a FORD vehicle with an Ecoboost engine, and even better if they don’t drive a FORD at all. 
  
We are looking for ACTRA members with limited commercial exposure.

So please dig deep in your roster or anyone else you’d know who’d be good for this and help us find great people that haven’t done a lot of commercials.
