Actors and film enthusiasts, take note. Pachinko on Apple TV+ is currently casting 26 paid roles across Canada. And if you’re based in Ontario – you’ll have an even wider net to cast.
The show
Based on the best-selling novel by Min Jin Lee, Pachinko follows the story of a Korean family across four generations as they immigrate to Japan and start a new life. Directed by Kogonada and Justin Chon and written by Soo Hugh, the first season of the drama series premiered on Apple TV+ back in March, receiving critical acclaim. In April, the series was renewed for a second season.
