3 roles
LEAD ROLE. Moody’s the grounded one — sarcastic, quick-witted, and convinced he’s the voice of reason. Problem is, his loyalty to Murray keeps pulling him into terrible plans he already knows won’t work. He trusts Murray’s judgment even when he shouldn’t.
LEAD ROLE. Longer hair, usually messy, tucked under a worn-in ball cap. Murray is a walking bad idea with total confidence to back it up. Impulsive, loud, relentlessly optimistic, and blissfully unaware when he’s in over his head. He attacks every situation with enthusiasm instead of intelligence — and somehow, occasionally, that works. No filter whatsoever. He’s not the coolest guy in the room, but he’s usually the most fun to watch. Audiences should be rooting for him despite himself.
LEAD ROLE. Betsy is the heart of the family — warm, nurturing, endlessly patient, and somehow still holding the household together despite the chaos around her. She loves hard, worries constantly, and spends a fair amount of time cleaning up messes she didn’t make. She looks sweet on the surface, but she’s tougher than she gets credit for. She knows exactly how ridiculous her family is and has no problem saying so.
