JOHNMale30-40 y.o.All ethnicities

It’s been a full year, but he is still drowning his problems away in alcohol, and his life is not any better than when he was first divorced. The acting performance is requiring someone who can convey emotional expressions, can convey good internal conflicts and can convey depth with the dialogue that is spoken.

THE OLD MANMale55-65 y.o.All ethnicities

A man who is just as wise as he is old. He is homeless, but has had a life full of experiences that have given him wisdom greater than what a homeless man should seem to have. He is calm, and is very level headed. His role requires someone who can convey depth to the dialogue, has the look of wisdom with age about them, and someone who knows that they do not have much longer to live, so they must give out their final message
