Seeking:
[ MONIKA ]
25 to 34 years old, Indigenous, South Asian, Southeast Asian, East Asian, Filipino, Pacific Islander female. A soft-spoken, fragile nurse on the brink of despair. She carries an intense and quiet energy that simmers beneath a vulnerable exterior. Don't let her fool you, she's very quick on her toes and she has an edge to her that knows how to defend herself under physical pressure, to some extent. LEAD.
[ SETH ]
22 to 29 years old, all ethnicities male. A clever, relentless music producer who isn’t helped by his snarky attitude. He is fast-talking and as sharp as he is abrasive. He lacks many friends and hasn't had many lasting relationships because of his tenacious tendencies. But deep down, he is a kind hearted young man with a lot to lose. LEAD.
[ NATALIE ]
19 to 30 years old, white female. An ex-stripper and addict trying to turn her life around. She is sharp, brash, funny in a dark way, and confident in spite of her struggles. She is also the single mother of an infant. Her good looks are sometimes overlooked by her lack of trust in others and crass attitude towards others, men, mostly. Deep down, she is a lovable tragic hero crying for inner help. LEAD.
[ PEPPER ]
20 to 25 years old, African, Black female. A brilliant, but vulnerable and terrified psych student. She is the cute girl-next-door that anyone would fall for; she can come across as a bit bubbly, clueless and ditzy... on purpose, as a defense mechanism and a way to feel like she assimilates to society. If you upset her on purpose, you will see her erratic and angry side come out without delay. LEAD.
[ BILLIE ]
41 to 60 years old, all ethnicities female. A retired detective with a toughness and the insight to solve the game. She is very observant; a cool head with keen insights and a grounded, nurturing presence. To many, she can serve as a Mother figure and a protector. But, she may not actually be as tough as her credentials highlight her as. LEAD.
[ MORRIS ]
64 to 79 years old, all ethnicities male. A grandfather who understands that everything is a trade-off. He is retired dentist from New Jersey and a true family man with a big open heart, yet a stern exterior. He quickly accepts the grim scenario and exudes a world-weariness that makes everyone listen. His 1st Act monologue sets the tone for the fear and excitement to follow. IDEALLY SEEKING AN OFFER-ONLY STAR NAME FOR THIS 1-DAY (3 SCENE) ROLE. SUPPORTING.
[ EMMITT ]
25 to 38 years old, all ethnicities male. A gorgeous young widower looking for a reason to live. He may indeed be physically impressive enough to steal the sight of many women, but he's lost and the epitome of a tragic hero and bodyguard willing to risk his life for newfound love. But he may not have to risk his life if he can get lucky and win the game. LEAD.
[ ZAK ]
49 to 64 years old, all ethnicities male. A homeless man looking for some relief from his inner pain as well as chronic physical pain. He is a wild-eyed, unkempt man, who is mee enough to keep to himself and under the radar, but deep down when pressed the wrong way, he is breeding frenetic energy and his wirey-build makes him suspicious to everyone. Ideally looking for an OFFER ONLY STAR NAME FOR THIS 1-2 DAY (4 SCENES) ROLE. STRONG SUPPORTING.
[ RAYMOND ]
34 to 42 years old, white male. A white-collar everyman with a dead end tech/computer job, no time to exercise, and a mysterious background. He could blend into any crowd with his average build and appearance, but his keen intelligence and grounded demeanor makes him a stand out suspect in the game, but also an asset to anyone's surviving the game. LEAD.
[ CHRIS ]
31 to 39 years old, African, Indigenous, Black, West Indies/Caribbean, Mixed Ethnicity male. Tall and most physically impressive. He is ex-military, no-nonsense, and hellbent on getting out alive; the kind of guy who will make a weapon out of anything and use it without sparing sympathy for another's life. This doesn't make him a bad person, it makes him a man out for his own back. LEAD.
[ MATT ]
30 to 37 years old, white male. A handsome, charming and normally happy-go-lucky family man. He is a mild mannered bank manager who seems content enough with his simple life. His picket-fence demeanor conceals a scrappy strong-willed boxer. Matt is not the most threatening, physically, but his kindness can sometimes be meddlesome. LEAD.
[ SUZY ]
30 to 40 years old, all ethnicities female. Scientist by day, adventurer by night, and bisexual wild woman always. She loves the outdoors and the physical world; her impressive physicality matches her mental strength and strong personality. LEAD.
[ GUARDS ]
22 to 45 years old, all ethnicities male. Must be over 6'0 and built. Ex-military and mercenary types; physically intimidating in stature (height, muscularity, larger size etc), these guards are not to be messed with. SUPPORTING.
