3 roles
Lead . Sharp, composed, and highly observant. Miller leads the interrogation with a calm, conversational approach that slowly reveals sharper instincts beneath. Miller relies more on silence and instinct than intimidation. Looking for strong naturalism and subtle authority.
Main Supporting A seasoned detective with a slightly more direct edge than Miller. Keller watches closely, presses harder, and isn’t afraid to sit in uncomfortable silence. Looking for an actor with understated intensity and grounded procedural realism.
Supporting (Voiceover) Lily only appears through voicemail and text messages, but her presence drives the story. Should feel intimate and natural, like a real late-night voicemail from someone trying to stay composed while panicking. This actor will also need to report to downtown Rockford, IL, and will appear briefly on camera.
