2 roles
FEATURED ROLE #1: Dean is quiet menace, rugged and brooding. He's been in a time loop for potentially years at this point, the damage to his psyche shows through the cracks in his casual facade. He's measured, paced, in absolutely no hurry at all — in stark contrast to Aaron's panic and anxiety. He knows every possible outcome and revels in knowing everything Aaron doesn't. NOTE: Smoking (real or herbal) is required, fight scene is entailed.
Aaron is buoyant naïveté, physically unimposing, maybe ADHD. He's a bundle of energy, a young gun who's just stoked to be on a bank job with a wiser, more experienced guy like Dean. As his situation becomes clear, Aaron goes through all the human emotions of denial, panic, and eventual anger. The Aaron who walks into the room at the beginning is a very different Aaron than the one who leaves. NOTE: Fight scene is entailed.
