Roles:

[SMILES]
Lead Male (30 - 59)
A serious and grim-faced assassin who gets a job on a space station and takes it, much to his chagrin as he hates space. On the station, he fails his mission and at first believes he's been shot out into space and is slowly dying.
Offer Will Smith

[SUZY]
Lead Female (20 - 40)
A beautiful and sexy woman with cold, steely eyes and long, dark hair. She was Smiles' girlfriend
for a long time before he broke it off, knowing he couldn't have a relationship and be an assassin. She works now for Hubble and accidentally kills Smiles when he's trying to escape. She didn't realize it was him and when they've downloaded his brain to a disc, she comes to save him.
Interested In Jennifer Lawrence

[CASH]
Lead Male (60s)
A middle-aged man with a gaunt face who only
exists on a disc in Smiles' ear, as Smiles downloaded the brain activity of his late partner after his death. He was killed when Smiles wasn't at one of their jobs but Cash was happy to go out in a blaze of glory.

[MCPHEETERS]
Supporting Male (Any age)
Smiles' agent of sorts, as he finds the jobs and takes a small fee off what Smiles charges per kill.
When Hubble sends men after McPheeters, he commits suicide before they get to him. The men bring McPheeters' body up to the space station and wire it like a robot to draw Smiles out.

[FLECK]
Supporting Male (20 - 30)
A small, skinny man who is nervous and
has a tendency to mumble incessantly. He's implicated when Smiles' is put through the simulation. When Smiles finds him again, Fleck is speaking with a British accent and kills himself in
a bizarre manner. Finally, it's revealed in the end that Fleck's brain waves were also downloaded and the events with Fleck only occurred in Smiles' simulation.

[CLYDE HUBBLE]
Supporting Male (40 - 50)
A round, balding middle-aged man
that Smiles has been sent to kill on the space station. He's a rich man that must run the station, as Suzy works as his bodyguard and the henchmen on the station all protect him. He's eventually blown up, however, by a bomb Smiles has planted.

[HENCHMEN]
Supporting Male
A number of tall men in dark clothing that work for
Hubble.

[MIDGE A.K.A. HAROLD]
Supporting Male (20 - 30)
A buxom, blonde secretary
that Smiles uses to help get past some guards. Suzy shows him later that Midge is really HAROLD, an effeminate gay man that uses a hologram suit to get around. He lends the suit to Smiles in the simulation to help him get away.

[TECHNICIANS]
Supporting Male
TECHNICIANS: A host of technicians are on the space station, namely three working in the lab when Smiles breaks out.

[COMPUTER]
Supporting Male
The voice of a computer whose sole
purpose is to keep Smiles company in his spacewalk suit while his air slowly gradually runs out.
