He delivers devastating news with composure—never cruel, never falsely comforting. His duty is to the truth, ensuring patients grasp the gravity of their condition while still feeling seen. MUST SUBMIT WITH VOICE MEDIA. PAY RATE: PRINCIPAL VO.
Two seasoned movers who’ve worked together so long, they’ve practically become an old married couple: grumbling, poking, and taking verbal jabs at each other like high school best friends who never grew up. They’re the type to complain about everything, but underneath the bickering is real camaraderie and a rhythm only time can build. Their dynamic adds levity to an otherwise heavy moment, bringing grounded, character-driven humor without stealing focus. PAY RATE: ACTOR RATE.
ACTOR ROLE. Sharon Dimes is a veteran nurse with a calm, commanding presence and instincts sharpened by decades on the job. She navigates crises with clarity, compassion, and zero tolerance for nonsense. Sharon doesn’t lead with ego—she leads with action. She can read a person’s emotional state in seconds and respond without missing a beat. This role requires quiet strength, emotional precision, and a profound understanding of what it means to protect without words. PAY RATE: ACTOR RATE.
