5 roles

HOSSAMMale20-39 y.o.All ethnicities

A neurotic art critic. After being let go from his old job, he’s relieved his new, mysterious boss, SKIP SYKLER (definitely not a fake name) recognizes his brilliance. Very willing to lie to get out of a socially awkward situation. Doubles as KEVIN, a masked agitator who disrupts a vigil.

RACHELMale20-39 y.o.White / Caucasian

A passionate and task-oriented activist. HOSSAM’s girlfriend, and an optometrist by day. Organizes for Palestine and truly believes in the cause, sometimes at the expense of her relationships.

IBRAHIMMale20-59 y.o.All ethnicities

An Uber driver trying to make it work in the US. His brother and sister-in-law were recently killed back home in Sudan, and he is in a period of deep grief and shock. Warm, honest presence. Doubles as OLIVER, HOSSAM’s old boss. Charming, fun guy, a good boss. Gets straight to the point.

ERINMale30-49 y.o.All ethnicities

A pet therapist. Suffocatingly bureaucratic. Does not approve of the political atmosphere of Hossam and Rachel’s home and believes it may be contributing to Albert’s bad behavior. Strong comedic timing. Doubles as JEN, a waitress at a coffee shop. Hates her job and POLICE OFFICER, just doing her job. As slowly as possible. Dog lover.

ALBERTMale45-56 y.o.All ethnicities

Hossam and Rachel’s resentful and often infantilized dog. He is disgusted with his silly, stupid, millennial dog parents… if only he could resist their belly rubs… Nobody can see that he is meant for greater things. Strong comedic timing. Doubles as SKIP SKYLER, HOSSAM’s new boss. Definitely not a fake name. Charming, friendly, manipulative. Up to something.
