2 roles

ETHANMale18-22 y.o.All ethnicities

PRINCIPAL ROLE. Ethan is bold, impulsive, and impossible to ignore. He’s the kind of person who fills every space with noise, energy, and charm. He can talk his way into anything and out of just about everything. But beneath the jokes and bravado is a restlessness he can’t quite name, and a sadness he’s not ready to confront. He keeps people at a distance, even the ones he loves most, afraid of what might happen if he lets them see too much.

OLLIEMale18-20 y.o.All ethnicities

PRINCIPAL ROLE. Ollie is quiet, observant, and deeply empathetic. He’s the kind of person who sits and watches the room before speaking and says more with a glance than with words. There’s softness to him, but he isn’t weak. He feels things super deeply and carries more emotional weight than he lets on. While Ethan pulls attention, Ollie grounds the room. He’s quite cautious by nature, but his loyalty runs deep, and when it matters, he shows up in ways that are brave and quietly powerful.
