4 roles
Main. South Asian. The protagonist of the film. This role has no dialogue, so expressive, emotionally nuanced acting is absolutely essential. The audience experiences the story almost entirely through his face, body language, and internal conflict. By the climax, he is pushed to his emotional breaking point, requiring a wide dynamic range and subtle, believable performance. YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO RIDE A BICYCLE.
ONLY NEEDED FOR ONE NIGHT. 6’0”+ preferred. Well-dressed, confident, and effortlessly charming. This guy is the kind of man who could pass for a modern James Bond at first glance. Beneath his charisma, however, lies someone intimidating and dangerous.
ONLY NEEDED FOR ONE NIGHT. Tall, slender build preferred. When the Driver catches a glimpse of her behind Bond, it’s immediately apparent that she has been physically abused. Despite her fear, she doesn’t scream or call out for help. Instead, she shares a brief, desperate glance with the Driver, a silent plea that conveys everything without a single word.
Eastern European accent preferred. The veteran concierge/security guard of an upscale condominium. He's worked in the building for years, he’s seen more than he lets on. After allowing the Driver upstairs to complete the delivery, he notices the Driver’s frantic persona when he comes back down and tells him to forget what he saw. His advice isn’t malicious per se, but it comes from a point of self-preservation.
