(Lead Role) A seasoned homicide detective operating in moral gray zones. Sharp, patient, and quietly obsessive, London knows when to press and when to wait, and is willing to bend ethical lines to get results. Carries unresolved personal history that informs every decision. This role requires restraint, intelligence, and authority, with threat conveyed through stillness, timing, and subtext.
(Supporting Role) Clinical, precise, and emotionally detached. The Medical Examiner delivers the key revelation of the film with calm professionalism—no dramatics, no judgment. This role grounds the story in realism and shifts the investigation with just a few measured lines.
