3 role s
A struggling actor trying to break into the industry. He is exhausted by the "hustle" and the constant judgment of casting directors. He carries a potted dandelion—perhaps a prop or a lucky charm—that represents his fragile hope. He is desperate to succeed but refuses to lose his dignity. Requirements: Must speak Korean (dialogue in one sequence is in Korean).
Steven is the antagonist, but he shouldn't be played as a cartoon villain. He is tired, bored, and cynical. He represents the "System." He doesn't care about Do-Yoon as a person; he only wants to extract a stereotype. He specifically demands "grit" and the "immigrant struggle," asking Do-Yoon to look "less clean".
Patrick is the audience's window into the tension. He is clumsy, terrified of Steven, and constantly flinching. He tries to be helpful, but usually messes up due to nerves. He is the first to notice that the reality of the room is shifting.
