5 roles
At one time, Mike was a decent human being and still has impulses that way – unlike Roat or Carlino. He has natural empathy and compassion but has chosen the life of a small time grifter. He is rootless and alone in the world, a gambler. He has natural charm and a good-natured style. He’s easy to talk to and thinks fast on his feet.
Carlino is a small-time grifter. He is a coarse, uneducated man who isn’t bothered by a conscience. He lives from day to day just trying to survive in a world that is smarter than he. He’s not a cruel or sadistic person, but he does what he has to do in order to survive without much moral compunction. He is a fairly good con man, although he’s never the brains behind any scheme – but he has an air of authority and that makes him a natural for impersonating police officers.
Roat is a true sociopath with a sadistic streak. Like many sociopaths, he is highly intelligent and manipulates people with ease. He is an excellent con man, although, unlike Mike and Carlino, that’s not Roat’s only game – he’s a versatile and audacious criminal and will do anything for money or a thrill. He enjoys seeing others in pain.
Susy is a vivacious young woman who was blinded in a car accident a year ago. Possessed of a very strong will, she decided not long after her accident that she would not let it ruin her life. She met Sam a few months after the accident and was drawn to his refusal to see her as handicapped and she married him. She is highly intuitive and a very sensitive person.
Sam is a tough ex-marine and a man who has lifted himself up by his own bootstraps. He is intelligent, but not an intellectual. He’s a practical man who never wallows in sentiment and, while he has a sensitive side, he is not comfortable showing it, even to Susy. He is a photographer but not possessed of an artistic temperament.
