3 roles

MAIN GUY — LeadMale26-49 y.o.White / Caucasian Indian/South Asian

Mixed Caucasian/South Asian appearance, clean-shaven, medium build, wears glasses. Must be comfortable performing a subtle limp and a recurring facial twitch as physical character tells. Strong emotional range required — quiet dread, breakdown, silent crying, and a controlled, unsettling stillness by the film's end. This is a demanding, mostly non-verbal performance carried through physicality and expression.

THE CLOWNMale18-96 y.o.All ethnicities

Supporting (physical role). Similar build to Main Guy (separate actor — not a dual role). Comfortable in full clown makeup and/or costume. Movement-driven performance — loose, fluid, theatrical, unsettling rather than slapstick. One key line of dialogue. Dance/physical theater background a plus.

TAXI DRIVERMale18-96 y.o.African-American

Supporting. Black or brown actor, believable naturalistic energy. Needs good comic timing for light early banter, then a strong, subtle emotional turn in the final scene — dawning unease played with restraint, minimal dialogue.
