Crime Boss Investigator - Major Roles Casting
Nathan Coval 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.
This was an incredibly tough decision. Your audition was genuinely strong, and you were absolutely one of the top contenders for this role.
We ultimately had to choose another performance that aligned most precisely with our internal vision for this specific character arc. That choice was not easy.
Please don’t take this as a closed door. I’d truly love to work with you in the future, and I hope you’ll consider auditioning again when we open casting for future shows
