Casting Actors for "Threadbear" Short Film

Tattoos are encouraged A cold, unpredictable enforcer. Known as "El Pinzas" (The Pliers) for his brutal methods. He's intimidating without effort, the kind of man whose silence says more than words. Needs strong presence and subtle menace.

Lean, street-smart, and restless. El Pinzas' scrappy right-hand man quick with his mouth, quicker with his moves. Cocky but paranoid, always hustling, always watching.

(Morgue Worker) Ernie is underpaid, sketchy, and money driven, a guy always looking for the shortcut, willing to bend rules if it means quick cash. His hustler instincts keep him afloat, but that same greed ultimately seals his fate.
