Looking for “real kids” in the community with natural acting abilities and the confidence to try out for a major role in a TV Pilot for the upcoming series, AMERICAN MUSCLE, a SAG-AFTRA project due to shoot in Jackson.
Dates: October 1-10, 2026
Rate: $449/day + 10% agency fee. Needed several days on set.
Storyline: American Muscle is a high-octane family drama set on the forgotten dirt tracks that started NASCAR. After his father’s passing, HAYES TURNER shoulders his family’s struggling garage while fighting to create his own legacy – one stock car race at a time. Like the Turner family, this sport and culture is vying for existence. The pilot is partnered with the Jackson Motor Speedway to film during live races. And the series will film during the World of Outlaws “Hell Tour” at tracks all over the country next spring/summer.
[BANKS] Male, can play 12 to 15, White. Would love 18 to play younger, but 100% open to a minor. Brash, brazen, smartass, and everything else a boy raised on the dirt tracks of Texas ought to be. After recently losing his father, Banks isn’t sure how to cope with the loss. If he let himself slow down for a moment, he might admit he’s a little adrift–but like his older brother, that isn’t something he’s willing to do. Banks is Hayes in miniature: tough, loyal, protective, ambitious, and not afraid to make enemies if that’s what it takes. He has a soft spot for his mother, but he’s at an age now where he’s not as comfortable showing it… SERIES REGULAR
