Looking for Male Actor for Surrealist Indie Short Film

Seeking a male actor, 40s-50s for the lead role of Thomas Frank in an indie short film. Thomas is a mid-level employee who has spent fourteen years doing a job he genuinely loves showing up in other people's lives so they don't have to. He's warm, unhurried, and completely at ease. Think Milton from Office Space if Milton were content. Glasses, soft-spoken, the kind of guy nobody really notices, and that's always been fine with him. Until the day it isn't. This role requires an actor who can hold a static camera with naturalistic warmth in the first half, then carry a slow, quiet unraveling through the second, including a physically demanding violence sequence.. No scenery chewing. The camera is patient and unforgiving, and so is the material. This is a no-pay, credit + reel footage project. We're a small passionate crew making something strange and specific. If that appeals to you, we'd love to hear from you.
