Her style is understated, as she tries not to stand out as a woman, wearing muted outfits - she believes her work should speak for itself.
Scruffy, rough, jaded, slightly disheveled. Is hitting a breaking point on his walk home, ready to explode. Actor MUST be comfortable working with a heavy amount of practical effects and makeup
Commands attention and respect from those around them. Their appearance is always impeccable, and they take great care to dress in a way that conveys their status and authority.
A friendly regular at the local bar, but has hit rock bottom and possesses a particular craving this time around... MUST be okay with chewing/eating a lot of beans for this role.
