Thunderbirds are Minecraft - The Pilot
Project Overview
Welcome to the casting call of Thunderbirds are Minecraft. The series that returns after 10 years with an exciting new take on International Rescue.
Synopsis
In the year 2100, billionaire ex-astronaut Jeff Tracy operates International Rescue - a secret organisation which relies on the incredible machines piloted by his 5 sons, the Thunderbirds. They find themselves in a sticky situation when underdeveloped technology causes the latest passenger airliner, the Fireflash, to go missing as it travels at unimaginable speeds.
This casting call is primarily support/minor voice roles with the exception of 'Philip DeLance' and 'Captain Hanson' which are larger parts.
There are a few more small roles which are maybe like 1 or 2 lines of dialogue each. If you audition and don't get the role but would still like to be involved, give me a message and I'm sure I'll have something for you to play!
Thank you for taking a look,

Philip DeLance is a spoilt rich kid who after his fathers passing inherited his lives work in which he continues just for the profits. He's developing a state of the art AI navigation system which is said to revolutionise planetary travel but he rushes the process to get the money rolling.
He's rather smug and arrogant, with a short temper when things don't go his way.

International Rescue is a scam and will do nothing but try and stop the flight.
The Fireflash will make its maiden flight just a fortnight from now (smug) Thank you all for your cooperation.
Get out. You're fired!

Captain Hanson is one of the best pilots in the world personally chosen for the maiden flight of the Fireflash by DeLance himself.
He is a very calm and collected person with a bit of a sarcastic charm to him, but when all goes wrong and he finds himself out of control he begins to lose his confidence rapidly.

I AM the most qualified man for this flight and I guarantee you that in that hour, this aircraft will appear in Tokyo unscathed.
Good morning everybody, this is your captain speaking. Welcome aboard the maiden flight of the Fireflash.
(To himself) You've got this. Piece of cake.

The AI system aboard the Fireflash is the work of Philip DeLance and his company 'NavigoAI'.
The AI starts off as what you'd imagine a generic artificial voice to sound like - like Siri for example, and eventually progresses to a more Hal 2000 vibe by the end.

That will not be necessary captain. No need for concern.
Incorrect data captain. Everything is running on course at 99.6% accuracy.
No captain. I have control from here.

There are three parts to be casted here. All with the same vibe sharing the same scene
In the opening of the episode we're introduced to Philip DeLance as he sits within board meeting with several officials from his company and partners. They start off doubtful of DeLance's work but with his lies then become convinced he's a money maker for him. One of the 3 voice roles is more suspicious than the other 2 however.

Peoples lives could be at risk here DeLance. Are we really sure this kind of technology is developed enough yet?
My company can not afford to be taking any sort of major financial risk. I demand full certainty.
I am still a little skeptical. Would you consider the presence of International Rescue - just in case.
