Neil Pore

The good news just keeps on coming for CASTINGHUB member Neil Pore. Just weeks after signing with the talent agency

Talen Fusion, Neil has filmed a commercial for Kinder Chocolates.

Sarika Pore, Neil’s mother, said, “I submitted Neil on Thursday morning and they called him for an audition on Friday 5

pm in New York. They confirmed his selection this morning and the shoot is tomorrow 9/30 at 9.30 am in New York! I

couldn't be happier. This was Neil's first Job audition and he got selected among 50 kids!

The producer initially wanted a 5 year old and a 12 year old who look similar. They wanted to show that the little one

outgrows into a 12 year old eating a Kinder Chocolate bar. Neil did great .The shoot was supposed to be from 9.30 to

1 pm, but because of wardrobe issues for the bigger boy, they had us there until 4 pm.

I am very proud of him to get selected in his first job audition. He got a very good exposure to what happens in the

studio. Once again, thank you[CASTINGHUB] so much for helping us enter in this industry and for your continued

support.”

The CASTINGHUB talent advisors could easily see that Neil was a very gregarious young man with an innate talent. They

also instantly fell in love with the whole Pore family, as the advisors saw just how supportive they all were of Neil and

continue to be. CASTINGHUB is happy to hear about this great news. For more information on CASTINGHUB discoveries

thing in San Antonio, so be sure to be on the lookout for

her. Having already starred in the pilot of the new show

“The Single Wives Club”, shown the world her moves in a

leaving soon after that. Michael, the older brother, has had

to take care of them. When an eviction notice finally comes

he decides to rob a bank and leave this type of life forever.

Desiree shows her true talent and range as she plays a

young girl who is the unfortunate victim in this bank

robbery. Desiree was in the middle of the movie at the

climactic moment when tempers flare one brother decides

to shoot her character. Before he does, the second brother

shoots his own brother to save her.

Being featured so prominently in a movie is a testament to

her skill and her dedication to the craft. Spending many

hours working with Casting Hub and finding roles most

suited to fit her that the commercial networking service

features, Desiree knows that this is something that she

wants to be doing for a long time to come.
