Paid Male Performer for "The Da Vinci Code" Play

Jacques Saunière is Sophie Neveu’s grandfather and the Curator of the Louvre museum. This character’s death at the start of the story sets the mystery in motion, so an actor with commanding presence and gravitas is ideal. (Any ethnicity; doubles as additional ensemble roles as needed) Traits/Requirements: Scholarly, secretive, and paternal. No specific accent requirement noted, but Saunière is French (actors should be comfortable with dramatic death scene staging).
