5 roles
LEAD. Book-smart and Street-dumb. Inventor of Landmark Technology at a tech startup, but struggles to stand-up for his own intellect. Needs to value his own self-worth. Friendly, intelligent, and deeply anxious.
LEAD. A real-life cartoon character. Overly confident and surprisingly stupid. Leads a seminar on social exposure, where his instructional style is informed by his brazen nature, accidental cruelty, and lack of self-control. Self-assured, farcical, and non-nonchalant. Would accept a younger actor that can pass for older.
(she/her) A formerly-anxious woman who now acts as a sponsor for Gorbin’s program. Supportive, self-assured and deeply competent. The one source of credibility Gorbin has.
SUPPORTING. A woman so deeply neurotic that she hides in her own coat like a turtle. Searches for danger around every corner - and always manages to find it. Quiet, frightened, and compassionate.
Various Ages. A variety of members of a crowd witnessing an embarrassing event. Looking particularly for one muscular actor comfortable with having their shirt off. Would be needed for a day on set.
