Actors Needed for "Dropout" Pilot Ep. 101

SUPPORTING Big, flamboyant, chaotic energy, the guy you meet randomly and immediately treat like a lifelong friend. Mikey’s been living the college experience since high school and is overconfident about a college experience he's had for exactly one day. Mikey is a hype machine who genuinely means it, even when what he's hyping makes no sense. Key traits: high-energy comic performance, commits fully to bits, good in a group setting

HEAVY SUPPORTING A full-commitment eccentric who's completely unbothered by how he comes across. Plays every scene with total sincerity; the comedy comes from him never acknowledging he's the strangest person in the room. By the end of the pilot, he's unexpectedly the most emotionally steady character. STRONG COMIC SINCERITY. Key traits: deadpan sincerity, endearing, not a punchline.

RECURRING Outspoken and unfiltered, willing to say inappropriate things without hesitation or embarrassment.

RECURRING Says strange, oddly specific things with total sincerity and no sense of how they land. Intensely devoted to a roommate she barely knows.

RECURRING Skyler’s mother and primary source of conflict in the pilot. She’s not unreasonable or cruel — she believes she’s doing what’s necessary for her son’s future. She’s firm and direct rather than emotional, and she sets clear consequences

RECURRING Less involved in setting rules than Mom; tends to avoid direct confrontation and lets her take the lead on discipline. Supportive of Skyler but not willing to openly disagree with his wife.

COSTAR. Meets Skyler and his parents while waiting in a check-in line. A business major from Missouri, polite and a little clueless.

COSTAR Warm and straightforward, proud of his son in an uncomplicated way.

Excited orientation leader who sees the world as a stage and performs an exaggerated, musical-theater-style moment during orientation.

COSTAR Works the beach club where Skyler’s family frequents. Composed and professional, very devoted.

COSTAR A brief, sharp authority-figure

(possibility for recurring) A trio of overly enthusiastic school spirit figures that function as a unit. They aren’t cheerleaders but have a similar flair.
