‘I, Tonya’

Set to be released in 2018, the movie "I, Tonya" tells the story of Tonya Harding, a figure skater who in 1994 pleaded guilty to hindering the investigation into an attack on fellow skater Nancy Kerrigan. She was stripped of her medals and banned from competitive skating in the U.S., and the investigation found that her ex-husband had hired a hit man to attack Kerrigan. Harding is played by Margot Robbie, who was also in "The Wolf of Wall Street."

What are they looking for?

The following types are needed for a reshoot of a boxing match scene:

BOXING REFEREE: A man - any ethnicity, over 18 and who looks to be in his late 30s-mid 60s - to portray a boxing referee. Real referee experience is preferred.

BOXING COACH: A man - any ethnicity, over 18 and who looks to be in his late 30s-mid 60s - to portray a boxing coach. Real boxing experience is preferred.
