[ BILLY DUNNE ]
(lead singer/songwriter, rhythm guitar):  Male.  Mid 20s to early 30s.  One of a kind, confident and ambitious to a fault, BILLY DUNNE was always going to be somebody - if he could only escape his small town existence. Whatever the thing is that makes people into rock stars — Sex appeal, charisma, uniqueness — Billy’s got it. Abandoned by his father in BILLY's formative years, he channels that anger into a creative energy that opens doors for himself and his band. At the same time, he wants to create what he never had — A stable home, and a beautiful family with the love of his life, Camila. But an addictive personality and a blind stubbornness often gets him in trouble. The creative union between BILLY and DAISY will test every fiber of his being as he's forced to answer the question: how can someone be bad for you if she also makes you better than you’ve ever been? The story spans a decade (1970-80), so please submit actors that can play younger (mid 20s) but then later play the weight and gravitas of an adult (40). ACTOR MUST HAVE AN INCREDIBLE, UNIQUE SINGING VOICE AND IDEALLY SOME EXPERIENCE WITH GUITAR and a real desire to front a rock band. Please note: We are looking to create an actual band that will be recording together and potentially touring as this band. 
IF NOT FROM U.S. MUST BE ABLE TO DO A FLAWLESS AMERICAN ACCENT

STORY LINE: DAISY JONES & THE SIX is a fictional account of one of the biggest bands in the history of music, in spite of or perhaps because of their complex relationships and personal demons. The band suddenly broke up in the middle of a tour, and up until now no one has ever known why. It’s the story of America’s coming of age in the 1970s, a time when rock stars were Gods, a group of young people with once in a generation talent who make it bigger than they ever dreamed, but in the process everything they thought they knew about themselves and life is challenged. At it's core DAISY JONES is a love story. The love of a particular sound, the love of family, the love of your life, and the love you don't want but maybe can't live without. It's about the messy impulses of the human heart.
