Crime Boss Investigator - Major Roles Casting
Runic (Sn8kezz) for Vinny DeLuca
Vinny DeLuca is a charismatic, sadistic tactician hiding behind humor and charm. A low level affiliate turned personal nemesis, Vinny is not interested in power or survival, he is obsessed with psychological victory. He believes he understands the Crime Boss Investigator better than anyone else, and his greatest pleasure comes from forcing CBI to confront the truth about himself.
This role requires an actor who can dominate a two person scene, hold tension without raising their voice, and convey menace through stillness, timing, and subtext rather than volume. Fantastic demo reel content available.
"Hell of a reel, huh? Makes me wonder: how long before they start calling you the villain?" Just straight up mocking the guy. They just met and already he wants to tear him down and gloat while he does it.
"Ah-ah-ah, you can't touch me Investigator. Such an odd name might I add... you don't investigate anything, you just... kill." A true gut punch for the protagonist, who's angered at being so understood by Vinny. Spit that "Investigator..." out with pure spite and venom.
"Oh, you think I’m scared of you? I’ve seen the footage, remember? You’re not a hero, despite what this city thinks, and you know it. You’re a monster with a grudge, and that's all you care to be. And now? You’re afraid. That’s new for you, isn’t it? Fear? Only this isn't... traditional fear. I know you. You're not afraid of me, you're not afraid of gunfire, explosions, a public shaming... you're not even afraid to stare down the barrel of a gun. No-no... this fear is something more... personal, isn't it? You're afraid you wont get your revenge." Only one take required for this if you're short on time. But this one of the best lines he delivers, ripping apart the protagonist ruthlessly in this low, menacing tone.
Hey Runic, I just wanted to personally thank you for your audition. I want to be transparent, you were genuinely in serious consideration for this role. Your performance was strong, nuanced, and absolutely competitive.
We had to make a very tight call between a few outstanding submissions, and it came down to a specific tonal match for this season. That decision was incredibly difficult, but, ultimately we have chosen to move forward with another actor at this time.
Please know this was not a reflection of quality. You did phenomenal work. I truly hope we can collaborate in the future.
Appreciated. If there's more roles in the future, maybe we will end up working together
