Jean ValjeanMale30-49 y.o.All ethnicities

A poor peasant who rises to affluence, he has great natural nobility and dignity. A powerful figure, with a character of operatic size and passion. (Range: G#2-B4)

JavertMale30-49 y.o.All ethnicities

Must have a natural gravitas with ability to be expressive and dynamic. The ultimate ‘law and order’ figure. Obsessed, to the point of irrationality, with rigid and merciless moral code. (Range: F2-F#4)
