4 roles
Description: A seasoned judge who values status and reputation above all else. He enjoys the spotlight that high-profile cases bring and wields his authority with a mix of wit and ego. Detached from everyday life, yet oddly endearing in his eccentricity. Personality Notes: Commanding, humorous, and slightly pompous. Appearance: Distinguished, well-groomed, with an air of old-school authority.
Description: A blue-collar cab driver type who prides himself on being a “regular guy.” Outwardly friendly, talkative, and confident, but his charm hides deep insecurity. When challenged—especially by women—his easygoing demeanor gives way to aggression and defensiveness. Personality Notes: Charismatic but volatile; a man masking vulnerability with bravado. Appearance: Approachable yet capable of intimidation; average build and grounded presence.
The FEMALE UNDERSTUDY will cover two roles: LANA (27-33) and MS. DE SANTOS (30-40)
The MALE UNDERSTUDY will cover two roles: JACK (30s) and FRANK (35-50)
