2 roles
Male Identifying. One of the “two men from different backgrounds” in the Hollywood hotel. Visionary American studio head, pragmatic and driven; balances genuine artistic imagination with a hard sense of branding, audience, and commerce. Tidy, controlled, and conscious of his public image. Grounded, and naturalistic, who can play both charm and steel; as well as the tension between childlike wonder and corporate calculation. Good with rapid, idea‑heavy dialogue and subtle shifts in status.
Male Identifying. Artistic foil to Disney. Spanish surrealist painter; flamboyant, theatrical, and philosophically restless. Embraces contradiction and provocation, delighting in bending reality and language. Boldly physical and vocal choices without losing emotional truth. Able to pivot from comic eccentricity to genuine vulnerability and artistic intensity. Strong facility with abstract, poetic text is helpful.
