about the project
Actors wanted for Sitcom Pilot "Star Dover" - a new sitcom production based in the Netherlands, following the life and journey of the unfortunate protagonist and aspiring actor - Ben Dover. As he tries to achieve his biggest dream of becoming a star, he is forced into a living arrangement with an unlikely bunch of roommates who unintentionally get in his way - Grandpa Willy, Marco, and foreign Peter. The four end up in bizarre situations as they navigate their day-to-day lives, while each one of them faces their own trials and tribulations in search for the ultimate happiness.
The production is entirely in English, despite being filmed in the Netherlands.
