Male. 18-26 Westlake University’s star quarterback, team captain, and fraternity president. Magnetic, physically imposing, and used to command, he appears invincible. Beneath the swagger, Cole is managing chronic pain, medication, and relentless pressure from his father to become an NFL prospect. He hides fear behind anger, humor, and the need to win. The role must reveal both Cole’s athletic authority and the vulnerability beneath it. ***| Ian Chen | Lead. Male. 18-26 A super-intelligent honors student, pre-med biology major, campus-paper editor, and anonymous MM webcomic artist. Quiet, dryly funny, and intensely observant, he reads patterns, arguments, and people with rare precision. Academic success is his armor, but art is where he feels most alive. Ian’s relationship with Cole carries rivalry, attraction, and emotional danger; the actor must make his intelligence feel active, specific, and deeply human. ***| Jax Delaney | Lead. Male. 18-26 Cole’s roommate, vice captain, and most trusted teammate. Powerful on the field but emotionally direct off it, he is the dependable friend who notices what others miss. Jax is the first person to recognize that Cole and Ian are no longer themselves, making him an essential ally in protecting the team and the secret. His connection with Luca challenges him to stop living in Cole’s shadow and put his own desires first. ***| Luca | Lead. Male. 22-28 A free-spirited European tarot reader and former art-history student living in a battered, hand-painted RV near campus. Witty, sensual, theatrical, and surprisingly perceptive, he sees through the body-swap chaos before anyone else. Luca uses tarot, energy language, and flirtation to unsettle people, but beneath the playfulness is someone who understands loneliness and demands honesty. His relationship with Jax begins in attraction and grows into something more emotionally real. If interested,submit headshot,complete details and video reel.
