ChrisMale18-18 y.o.African-American

Chris is intelligent, observant, emotionally sensitive, and deeply attached to his mother. As a child, he mirrors behaviors he doesn't fully understand. By adolescence, confusion around affection and identity begins surfacing in troubling ways. This role requires an actor capable of subtle psychological shifts. The older Chris should feel charming and unsettling at the same time. Strong physical acting and emotional restraint are important.

RODRICKMale37-49 y.o.Latino / Hispanic

Protective husband and father. Honest, blunt, and practical. He confronts uncomfortable truths but his delivery escalates tension. Seeking an actor who can portray strength, protectiveness, and emotional honesty with depth and authenticity.

REGINAFemale30-49 y.o.Latino / Hispanic

Warm, maternal, outspoken, and socially observant. Regina represents family stability but unintentionally adds to Kim's feelings of judgment and isolation. PERFORMANCE NOTES: Seeking a grounded actress with emotional warmth, strength, and authenticity.
