4 roles
LEAD, PAID - Black actor preferred but open to ethnicity - The alpha male of our trio and best friends with Rocky. Deano has utmost charm, is a natural leader, and seems to have somewhat of a decent head on his shoulders.
LEAD, PAID - Brown hair preferred - The youngest of the pack and the younger brother of Rocky. Coot has a baby-faced innocence that he himself loathes. Having a chip on your shoulder doesn’t even begin to describe this boy’s demeanor.
SUPPORTING, PAID - A small-town sheriff is worn by years of routine and skepticism — they mask their unease with dry humor and a no-nonsense demeanor. Our sheriff is quick to dismiss the bizarre event as “wild animal attacks.”
SUPPORTING, PAID - Outwardly youthful and charismatic for their age, the Deputy provides comic relief with their curiosity and naivety. Eager to contribute, they float theories of “devil cats and aliens” amidst the bizarre event, a sharp contrast to our Sheriff’s jaded pragmatism.
