[PAUL] (Mid 50’s to early 60’s) A loud mouth but lovable
club owner with a passion for 70’s suits often accompanied
by open shirt collars and gold chains. Paul has a heavy-set figure
and the attitude of a ‘wanna-be gangster’ but his
good-hearted nature makes him often the victim of astute cunning
by his long time “friend”, Captain Monroe. ITALIAN
OR MEDITERRANEAN TYPE – SUPPORTING.
[GIULIA] (Early to late 60’s) She is a wealthy and erudite
patron of the arts who carries herself like a spoiled teen-aged
starlet. She uses her high-pitched voice to pontificate about
all the subjects within her grasp. Giulia mixes her aristocratic
attitude with a perverse sense of humor. CAUCASIAN – SUPPORTING
[LEO] (Late 50’s to 60’s) A prominent and ruthless
art critic. Despite his short stature and frail looks Leo is as
fierce as a Tiger when it comes to any type of confrontation.
He expresses his opinion in a dogmatic manner and leaves no place
for further critique of his ideas. He is confident of the fact
that whoever disagrees with him does it out of ignorance. CAUCASIAN
– SUPPORTING
[MR. HARVEY] (Mid to late 50’s) He is a very powerful record
producer who is willing to do anything to make sure things go
his way. Being notably overweight does not prevent him from always
looking extremely professional and sharp. CAUCASIAN
[GYPSY WOMAN] (Mid to late 50’s) She is a fast-talking
street smart fortune teller. She lives on the street and knows
how to entice passersby with pity when begging for money. Her
hunting eyes appear as though to pierce the soul of the interlocutor.
MUST BE ABLE TO DO/HAVE A THICK EASTERN EUROPEAN ACCENT.
[YOUNG DAGOBERT] (8 to 13 years old) He is a very inquisitive
child always in search for an answer to his questions. LIGHT BROWN
HAIR AND BROWN EYES. MUST BE OR LOOK ITALIAN.
[OLD MAN] (60’s to 70’s) An AFRICAN AMERICAN man
with a white and black patchy beard living in a cardboard box
in a parking lot. He is not a bum but rather a sage living a care
free life, always ready to give philosophical advice. ACTOR MUST
BE ABLE TO IMPROVISE.
[ROSE] (Late 30’s to Early 40’s) She lives in a dream
world and is not very much aware of her surroundings. She is a
tall and voluptuous woman whose image would probably have appeared
on the cover of adult magazines ten to fifteen years ago. Apart
from her large lips she resembles an older version of a Barbie
doll. CAUCASIAN
[SANDY] (Early to mid 20’s) A young and attractive girl
with a strange verbal eloquence which is in contrast with her
provocative looks and outfit. She cries in desperation over the
death of someone dear to her. ANY ETHNICITY
[TRACY] (Early to mid 20’s) She is a very tall AFRICAN
AMERICAN girl with a singing voice that can make the windows tremble.
This character has no dialogue apart from an elaborate vocal performance
in an attempt to showcase her talent to the man who promised to
make her dream come true. Actor must be able to sing slightly
off pitch in a loud and commanding manner. A singing talent is
not required, just the willingness to sing.
[BARNEY] (Late 30’s early 40’s) A goofy and sensitive
member of a support group that is willing to pour his heart out
to anyone willing to listen. His round face and pudgy shape give
him the ability to make people really feel for him. CAUCASIAN
[SKINNY GIRL] (Early to late 20’s) The model type, wearing
a tank top, platform shoes, and a miniskirt when she waltzes into
the Captain’s office to hand him an envelope. ANY ETHNICITY
[RAUL] (30’s to 40’s) A loyal member of the road
crew of a music band. Raul and his brother Marco do everything
together but Raul is clearly in charge of all decisions. HISPANIC
[MARCO] (30’s to 40’s) Works with his brother Raul
in the road crew of a music band. HISPANIC
[PRIEST] (Late 50’s to early 60’s) A grey-haired
handsome man with a stern appearance. A serious expression is
always present on his face but his manners are very friendly.
CAUCASIAN
[DOCTOR] (40’s) An amiable and professional doctor with
a compassionate face and balding blond hair who is often the bearer
of bad news to the relatives of the patients in his hospital.
