Netflix inviting applications from young actors to play Prince Harry in The Crown

Netflix is on the hunt for an actor to portray a young Prince Harry in the new series of The Crown. The casting call was posted on Facebook by British Youth Music Theatre – BYMT, who shared details about what Netflix is looking for.

Robert Sterne, Casting Director of the Netflix series The Crown, described this position as a “significant role”, as they search for someone with a “strong physical resemblance”. No previous professional acting experience is required while they offer reassurance about support available for the young actors and their families.

The deadline for submissions is 6pm on Friday October 14. For those interested, read on to find out how to apply.

How to apply to Netflix for the new Prince Harry acting role?

Robert Sterne is looking for a young actor aged between 16 and 20 who poses a strong resemblance to Prince Harry. If you fit that criteria, application instructions were included in the Facebook post.

People should title the email to casting@robertsterne.co.uk: THE CROWN CASTING CALL – HARRY. The applicant should then include their name, age, date of birth and a current selfie, as well as where they heard about the casting call and where they are based.

Anyone aged under-18 should ask a parent or guardian for permission to apply and include their contact details in their submission. You should attach a short video (no more than 30 seconds) talking about something you love doing.

This should follow you saying your full name, age and height. The instruction for this is for it to be a close-up of your head and shoulders and in good natural lighting.

Direct from your mobile phone is fine (i-movie or android equivalent). The deadline for submissions is Friday October 14, while shooting for the new series will begin in the UK in November 2022.
