According to The Clarion Ledger, New Orleans-based actor Jeremy Sande (Deepwater Horizon) is pounding the pavement in the hopes that Walt Disney Studios will consider him for the role of a lifetime in the next Die Hard franchise.

Says the actor, “About a two years ago when I heard the chatter of a new Die Hard, I felt this was my opportunity.’ When it (Die Hard) came out it blew away the action genre. John McClane was just a normal guy who wound up in a situation where he had to perform outstanding acts to survive which is what the human genome is designed to do.”

“So I set out to produce a short film, basically as my informal audition tape. With the help of some incredibly talented filmmaking friends, we made “Roy” within a week.” Anyone that is a Die Hard fan will understand the Roy reference from the original 1988 film, directed by John McTiernan.

Watch Sande’s film Roy below and ask yourself: Does he have what it takes to step in the shoes of John McClane?
