Joe (Male, 28 - 35, White) is an infomercial pitchman with an inexplicable magnetism. When he’s pitching, you can’t look away. His aggressive, sexual schtick makes the world love him, but off camera, his “loveable” traits become deeply disturbing. He is WITTY, AGGRESSIVE, and ERRATIC.

She has a strained relationship with her daughter and a haunting connection to her deceased father. LEAD. MUST BE ABLE TO SPEAK TAMIL FLUENTLY!
Rebekkah
In the beginning, Rebekah was a child actress, so we know she’s headed for a rocky adulthood. As a potential Shirley Temple, she had stellar opportunities, like the time Spielberg thought he found his Gertie for E.T. only to be yanked by the production when Rebekah’s mom-ager found out the title wasn’t J.C. and the blockbuster would have nothing to do with the heavenly being she had envisioned. Just 39, Rebekah is still trying to hitch her dreams to a star and finds comfort in her weekly radio hymn and hum along show, Trinity, which she co-hosts with her best friend since community college, Japheth. Mission: Not a girl, not yet a woman. To become the bad good-ass woman she’s destined to be by sharing her faith and fresh ideas confidently on her radio show. Fatal Flaw: Trusting to let her own light shine and cast away the long, dark,overreaching shadow of her conservative Mom-ager.
Japheth
Japheth, 38, also an aspiring actor, and despite his age, claims to have turned down Tom Cruise’s role in Risky Business due to a concern of the lust he would inspire by sliding around wood floors in socks and underwear. He’s studied the scene meticulously since and indeed all of Cruise’s work and is happy to provide detailed analysis on anything Cruise-related with minimal prompting. Japheth is a multi-tasking machine, much like his best friend Rebekah. His passions and projects include divination and nephology (applying meaning to the study of cloud formations), singing and songwriting, modeling (for a sexy Jesus calendar, coffee-cup and greeting card line), and of course, co-hosting the Trinity radio show on JWYD. Mission: To host a successful radio show without compromising his integrityor self-worth. Fatal Flaw: Needs to accept his authentic self and sexuality by redefining his perceived faults as assets. Then he can unleash the super-human dormant inside.
Ronald
Former agnostic, current pansexual, future radio co-host of Trinity. Ronald,37, is a natural athlete and brings the brawn and some half-baked ideas to the friendship/coworker Trinity trio. What he lacks in comprehension of Christianity, he makes up for in team spirit and a singing voice that would make the Seraphim take notice. When Ronald starts working at JWYD radio station, he’s unwittingly swindled into funnelling donations and becomes the fall-guy for the charming Carrington, a chameleon with romantic and nefarious designs on him. Mission: To bring sweet harmony and new ideas to the Trinity radio show,without embarrassing JWYD, his co-hosts or himself. Fatal Flaw: Imposter Syndrome clings to Ronald but one of his bestattributes is his ability to offer unfiltered, new ideas that are free of bias.
Emma-Lou
Emma-Lou inherited JWYD radio station when her parents went missing on a cruise through the Bermuda Triangle. Believing in God’s mysterious ways, she’s embraced anything triangular since in defiance of her loss. These include Samosas (after she was introduced by office intern and gal pal Suwarna), a severe asymmetrical haircut and of course, producing the Trinity radio show. Since her parents’ demise, the radio station has been a runaway train financially and the thought of going through the stacks and stacks of metal filing cabinets to make sense of where all the money has gone sends her into hysterical hyperventilating fits. The tele-thon fundraisers continue to hitrecord donations so where is all the money going? Mission: To save the JWYD radio station she inherited from her deceasedparents by making a hit show. Fatal Flaw: Seeing her parents’ shoes as being impossibly too big for her tofill.
