Film#1: Closer Than We Should Be MAYA CHAMBERS (Lead) Age: 24 Height: Any Physical Appearance: Sharp, defiant, calculating. Natural beauty with guarded expression that shifts between playful seduction and raw vulnerability. Description: A grad student who resents her controlling father and weaponizes seduction as rebellion until real vulnerability cracks through. Requires an actor who can shift from playful manipulation to raw emotional breakdown to genuine intimacy. Must balance stubborn defiance with the moment her walls come down. *This role requires intimate scenes including passionate kissing and close physical contact. Implied nudity and sexual content but nothing explicit or simulated—talent can wear whatever they're comfortable with underneath blankets/covers. Film#2: Til' Fraud Do Us Part ERICA (Lead) Age: 32 (Late 20s/early 30s) Height: Any Physical Appearance: Immaculately dressed, polished, commanding presence. Projects wealth and sophistication. Description: A con artist posing as Danny's fiancée, targeting his trust fund with surgical precision. Erica is a master manipulator who weaponizes charm, tears, and cruelty depending on what the moment requires. Smug and confident until cornered, she moves through the world like someone who's never been caught—until now. Must play calculated coldness while maintaining surface charm, chemistry with Danny that reads as performative rather than genuine, and escalating tension with Alison.

Film#1: Closer Than We Should Be GABRIEL HART (Lead) Age: 48 (Mid to late 40s) Height: Open A recently divorced architect sent by Maya’s father to check on her during a storm. He is controlled, authoritative, and guarded, with a “silver fox” appeal (salt-and-pepper hair, clean or neatly trimmed facial hair), yet carries a quiet vulnerability beneath the surface. The role requires an actor who can portray restrained desire, paternal firmness, and a believable emotional unraveling while maintaining the character’s integrity and likability. Must be comfortable with intimate scenes including passionate kissing, close physical contact, and appearing shirtless. Implied (non-explicit) sexual content only; no nudity required, with discretion and actor comfort respected. Film#2: Til' Fraud Do Us Part DANNY (Lead) Age: Late 30s (late 30s - early 40s) Height: Open A kind-faced, eager, slightly naïve man and Erica’s fiancé—also her target—living off a trust fund and manipulated into a dangerous situation. Danny’s arc moves from defensive denial to drugged confusion, then into anger, realization, and emotional release. The role requires an actor who can portray sincere but misplaced love, the physical effects of sedation (glassy eyes, slowed reactions, instability), and a gradual loss of control leading to an explosive confrontation. Must balance vulnerability and strength, earning audience sympathy without appearing weak, and deliver a grounded emotional shift, particularly in scenes involving his mother.
