Breakdown:
| Role Name | Gender | Ethnicity | Age Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DANIEL | Male | ambiguous | 22-26 | Astute and intelligent, veiled in naïveté. Often lets his heart override his rational thought process. Eager to be in a romantic relationship, he's been openly gay for two years and thinks he's got everything figured out. Recent college graduate who is feeling a little directionless, but full of hope and has a fire to him. Charming, handsome, but his innocence makes people often underestimate him. Infatuated with MICHAEL and loves the idea of them as a power couple. Rear nudity required. |
| MICHAEL | Male | Caucasian | 25-30 | Confidence that errs on the side of sociopathic. Obsessed with not only his looks, but his image in the world. Lives in constant denial and fear that he will be exposed for who/what he truly is. A Narcissist. Has skirted by in life on his looks and charm, but has a void internally that he doesn't know how to fix. He is willing to climb over anyone in order to get what he wants. Loves/Is jealous of DANIEL's drive and passion, so he wants his undivided attention - as if he's surrounding himself with all the things he's not. Has not told DANIEL his secret he's been hiding about DAVE. Full frontal nudity required for one shot as getting out of bed. Mostly shirtless. |
| DAVE | Male | Caucasian | 45-55 | At his core, DAVE just wants to be loved. He's been used/abused and because he's let people hurt him, he's become bitter and a bit jaded. Always yearning for affection of anyone around him, he is eager to please, but has trouble drawing boundaries. He struggles with depression and thinks monetary things will make him happy. MICHAEL is everything he wants to be, and DANIEL is a threat to what they have. Regardless of the jealousy, DAVE has a fascination and curiosity with DANIEL. Role appears shirtless in one shot. |
