PRODUCTION BEGINS: January 2004

ROLES AVAILABLE:

MALES

"Will Faulks", 30s, Caucasian or Latino. A seemingly-ordinary, even-tempered, lower middle-class, average guy. He’s “everyman”. Will is not tall, not short. Not handsome, not ugly. Average build. He’s not creepy in any way. You would never suspect him of being a sick rapist and killer. The fact that he committed these crimes is shocking.

"Detective Chris Milne", 20s - mid 30s, any ethnicity. He is fresh-faced and cocky, but not without cause and charm. He's confident enough to defer to Dutch and Claudette’s expertise.

"James Freeman", 40s - early 50s, African-American. He is an attractive but not necessarily classically “handsome” man. He possesses a strength and presence that is charming; big on charisma. There’s also a vulnerability to him. He has made it in a blue-collar world..

"Tone", 20s, any ethnicity. He's the pit boss at an underground casino. A wiry and thin guy. He's physically small but looks mean as hell. The casting directors are looking for quirky, unusual faces for this part.

"Dr. Ausanta", 50s, Latino. A legitimate physician whose son is a drug addict. He’s performing medical procedures on the local drug dealers in exchange for them NOT providing his son with drugs.

"I.A.D. Guy" (Internal Affairs Division), 30s - 50s, any ethnicity. A professional-looking man who pulls back the cover to reveal a character's dead body.

"Jarod", 30s, African-American. A gas station attendant that Taniesha leaves the baby with. The character has a quirky-looking face.

FEMALES

"Joanna Faulks", 30s, Caucasian. The wife of Will Faulks. She’s attractive in an unglamorous way, and she possesses a quiet strength.

"Sara Lang", 20s - 30s, Caucasian. A dedicated teacher at a school for autistic children. She’s gentle and patient, and has a calming, serene quality about her.

"Iliana", mid - late 20s, Latina. She was raised in the hood and isn’t getting out. She looks scummy but she is not a drug addict. She’s together enough to pay the rent on her dumpy little house. She plays a tough game but deep down has a good heart. LEAD ROLE.

"Kara Jackson", 30s, African-American. A professional young woman. She left her child with Taniesha to babysit. She goes to the police when she cannot find Taniesha or her baby.

"Stella", 40s, Caucasian. She's attractive in a tacky way. Self-possessed and vixen like. Stella is the kind of woman who can pull together a hot outfit with clothes she bought from Wal-Mart. She’s sharp and possesses an openness that borders on crass.
