7 role s
Ruthless old-school crime boss. Charismatic terror wrapped in quiet menace. Commands fear and loyalty with a low voice and sudden violence. Cigar-smoking, golf-club-wielding storyteller who turns folk tales into death threats. Physically imposing, weathered, dangerous presence. Key traits: Cold, philosophical, brutal, darkly poetic, unpredictable, twisted paternal energy. Seeking actors with commanding gravitas and the ability to shift from calm to explosive in a heartbeat.
Razor-sharp lawyer and fixer for a crooked art empire. Highly intelligent, cynical, morally compromised. Lives in luxury built on corruption and is quietly plotting her exit. Composed under pressure, capable of ice-cold betrayal. Key traits: Brilliant, sarcastic, guarded, ambitious, ruthless when cornered. Strong dramatic range required—must handle scheming, panic, and quiet triumph.
Smooth-talking small-time hustler and occasional thief. Charismatic, reckless, unlucky in life and love. Makes terrible decisions when desperate. Capable of sudden violence when backed into a corner. Key traits: Charming, impulsive, street-smart but not brilliant, desperate edge. Submission: Headshot, reel (crime, indie drama, or character-driven roles preferred).
Dim-witted, drugged-out young crew member. Spouts bizarre movie references, laughs at the wrong moments, says the dumbest things with total confidence. Not evil — just profoundly stupid and loyal in a tragic way. Key traits: Goofy, spaced-out, occasional weird moments of clarity, pathetic loyalty. Must play dumb convincingly without tipping into cartoon. Submission: Head shot, self-tape showing comedic timing + drugged-out/dazed behavior.
Cocky, mouthy, always-horny member of Igor’s crew. Thinks with his dick first, brain second. Loyal but panics fast when things turn real. Brash and reckless. Key traits: Loud, impulsive, slightly cowardly under real pressure, talkative. Submission: Head shot, reel (crime, buddy energy, or loud character work acceptable).
Additional Character. Cold, professional enforcer. Minimal words, maximum threat. Calm, precise, lethal. Moves like the decision to kill has already been made. Terrifying stillness and efficiency. Key traits: Quiet menace, zero emotion, deadly calm, physical presence. Must project danger through silence and control. Submission: Head shot, reel (action, assassin, cold enforcer, or intense dramatic roles preferred).
Additional Character. Mid-level criminal with partner Hanz running a stash house. Cocky, dismissive, convinced he's untouchable. Short but memorable roles — must sell arrogance before sudden violent ends. Submission: Head shot, self-tape with short cocky/confrontational dialogue.
