⭐️ LEAD ROLE
🎭 MICHELLE
(African American Female)
Rate: $125/day
NOTE: We are open to flying in talent for this role
African American woman, able to portray late teens (18, fresh high school graduate) through late 20s. The lead role and emotional core of the story. Michelle begins as a vibrant, intelligent young woman — valedictorian, full of promise — before her world is shattered by a family revelation. Ten years later, she’s more guarded, methodical, and calculating, with an undercurrent of emotional detachment. The role demands exceptional range, shifting between warmth, suspicion, emotional trauma, and cold precision. Requires the ability to carry scenes alone, portray gradual psychological unraveling, and maintain a strong, captivating screen presence.
🎭 LORNA
(African American Female)
Rate: $125/day
NOTE: We are open to flying in talent for this role
Early-to-mid 40s. Michelle’s adoptive mother. Sharp, composed, and intellectually formidable, with a clinical psychologist’s precision in her speech and body language. Her warmth feels measured — never accidental — and her mask rarely slips. Beneath her poise is a controlling, calculating presence, capable of manipulation and emotional withholding. She must project authority while revealing flickers of fear when her control starts to erode.
🧩 SUPPORTING ROLES are NOT eligible for travel and lodging.
🎭 TYLER
(African American Male)
Rate: $100/day
Late 20s to early 30s. Michelle’s fiancé. Handsome, charming, and attentive, with the polished appearance of the “ideal man.” Beneath that surface lies deep personal trauma — his parents were brutally murdered when he was a baby. Tyler has to balance being Michelle’s emotional anchor with moments of unease and suspicion as dark truths emerge. Needs to shift from light romantic banter to the weight of devastating revelations with authenticity.
🎭 HARRY
(African American Male)
Rate: $100/day
Early-to-mid 40s. Michelle’s adoptive father. Warm, charismatic, and animated, with an affectionate and humorous personality. Loves Michelle deeply, but harbors guilt and secrets from the past. Appears confident in lighter moments but can quickly shift to guarded and tense when confronted with uncomfortable truths. His bond with Michelle is tested by revelations that shake their family foundation.
🎭 DET. WILBURN
(Any gender, any ethnicity, mid-to-late 30s.)
Rate: $100/day
A seasoned homicide detective with a calm, authoritative presence. Persistent, observant, and sharp, with the ability to read people while keeping their own cards close. Balances compassion for victims with a relentless focus on uncovering the truth. Carries the weight of past unsolved cases and is determined to break the cycle of violence tied to the Gallego copycat murders.
🎭 GLORIA
(Female, any ethnicity, mid-to-late 50s.)
Rate: $100/day
Former assistant to Lorna. Sharp, weary, and pragmatic, with a caring but guarded nature. Holds key knowledge about Michelle’s past, revealing it in guarded fragments. Maternal in moments, but her urgency and fear suggest she knows the dangers of speaking too much. Requires an actor who can portray quiet strength, world-weariness, and subtle tension.
🎭 CARLA
(Female, any ethnicity, mid-to-late 40s.)
Rate: $$75/day
Harry’s girlfriend. Stylish, self-assured, and observant. Navigates the awkwardness of family gatherings with grace while maintaining a supportive presence for Harry. Her warmth and curiosity hint at deeper observations about Michelle’s family history. Needs to blend charm with a quiet perceptiveness.
🎭 THOMAS
(Male, any ethnicity, mid-to-late 40s.)
Rate: $$75/day
Lorna’s husband. Grounded, warm, and easygoing. A stabilizing figure in tense moments, often acting as a buffer between Lorna and others. Comfortable in family settings, yet subtly aware of undercurrents of conflict. Brings a sense of sincerity and calm to scenes filled with tension.
🎭 ROBERT
(Male, African American mid-to-late 40s.)
Rate: $75/day
Michelle’s biological father, one half of a notorious criminal couple involved in violent, ritualistic killings. Intelligent and composed, with a chilling undercurrent of menace. His presence should command attention, suggesting both charisma and danger.
🎭 MAXINE
(Female, African American, mid-to-late 40s.)
Rate: $75/day
Michelle’s biological mother and the other half of the criminal duo. Capable of being disarmingly charming, yet cold and ruthless when needed. Must balance allure with the ability to convey a deep, unsettling darkness beneath the surface.
🎭 CSI
(Any gender, any ethnicity, mid-to-late 20s.)
Rate: $50/day
Professional, precise, and methodical. Works crime scenes with a calm focus, delivering technical details clearly. Offers a grounded, factual perspective amidst the emotional chaos of the investigation.
