YOUNG TED
Highly passionate about his hobbies. His current fixation: playing doctor. He will play with his stuffies, his friends, and his parents when he can. He likes to finish all of his schoolwork at school so he has more time to play when he gets home. Some of his relatives worry that he is not studying enough, but he always comes home with near perfect grades. Ted likes to say what's on his mind, yet is still considerate of other people.
OLD MAN
"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." - Revelation 21:4 An Angel/Prophet sent to Ted to help him overcome his grief. He is disguised as a normal old man who have also seemingly passed away, hence the reason no one notices him and he can talk to Ted, who is also dead.
ANNIE
Ted's childhood best friend and current girlfriend. Have been best friends since 2nd grade, and have been dating for 2 years since their 2nd year in university. She sees Ted's parents as if they were her own. Annie is quiet and sophisticated, and likes to observe things that are unfamiliar to her - like Ted. His goofy and outgoing personality fascinated her, but his hardworking drive and his intelligence made her fall for him without realizing. Annie has a hard time vocalizing how she feels, but feels emotions deeply. Her and Ted planned on moving in together once they secured stable careers after graduation, but now that will not be possible now that he is gone. Ted's death led to a mess of emotions, from shock to anger, grief to sorrow. The light in her life has now dimmed for good.
YOUNG ANNIE
Quiet and observant, but feels more comfortable around Ted, who is her polar opposite. He's full of energy but also quite smart without trying. Ted is a lot more playful than herself, she would rather stay home and practice her 9x multipliers.
Therapist
Male, Mid 20s-40s, open ethnicity, a well-meaning couples counselor with a polished professional veneer and a vocabulary of therapy-speak that rarely lands with his clients. Each week brings a new couple and a new level of chaos: hitmen arguing over who “gets the kill,” a director who narrates her marriage like a film, a husband filming his possessed wife, and more. He tries to stay neutral and keep the session on track, but his composure slowly cracks into barely suppressed horror, disbelief and the occasional stifled laugh. Looking for an actor with dry, deadpan reactions and sharp comic timing. LEAD (5 EPISODES)
Ben
Male, 20’s-30s, open ethnicity, a well-meaning but oblivious husband and father who is convinced he’s the wronged party. He walks into therapy calling his wife a “gaslighter,” though he can’t quite explain what that means. Beneath the defensiveness, he is sincere a bit aloof, and the first to say “I’m sorry” when the truth finally lands. LEAD
Emily
Female, 20’s-30s, open ethnicity, Emily is quick-tempered and sharp-tongued. Ben’s wife, equally certain her version of events is the right one. Funny, exasperated and fiercely loving beneath the sarcasm when she finally meets Ben halfway. LEAD
Pumpkin
Male, 20’s-30’s, open ethnicity. A cheerfully dangerous hitman, chain-smoking and utterly unbothered. His relationship with Hunny Bunny is obviously toxic, but neither of them seem to notice or care. He treats murder like a household chore. Gruff and charming, quick with a threat, genuinely tender reaction when his wife cries. Must be able to do a South London/British accent. LEAD
Hunny Bunny
Female, 20’s-30’s, open ethnicity, Pumpkin’s wife and partner in crime, who is lethally competitive about “the kill.” Her relationship with Pumpkin is obviously toxic, but neither of them seem to notice or care. Looking for an actor with strong range. She swings from teasing to tears to knife-throwing in seconds. LEAD
Mia
Female, 30s, open ethnicity, a theatre director who treats her entire life as a production, calling action and cut, scoring montages and breaking the fourth wall. Controlling, quick-witted, she coaches her husband through their relationship as a director, which she finds great joy in. Great comedic timing and fast dialogue. LEAD
Jay
Male, 30s, open ethnicity, Mia’s husband, an actor she once cast in her play and has been directing ever since. An increasingly worn-down nice guy who is one note away from exploding. Good comic reactions are key. LEAD
Rima
Female, mid 20's, open ethnicity, Jim’s well-rested wife, who is grieving her recently deceased mother and living in her childhood home. On the surface she is warm, confused and genuinely worried about her husband. The role includes a dramatic transformation into a possessed version of Rima, who speaks in a menacing, demonic voice and channels her late mother, with theatrical vocal range and physicality. (Think the “Kubrick stare,” jumping up on the couch, switching between innocent and sinister in a heartbeat). LEAD
Jim
Male, 27, open ethnicity, a sleep-deprived husband convinced his grieving wife is attacking him in the night. Anxious and a little oblivious, he genuinely cares about his wife and wants to move past this possessed version of her. Strong at deadpan disbelief and escalating panic. LEAD
Harold
Male, 60s-70's, open ethnicity, a sweet, soft-spoken retiree who deals with conflict by plugging his ears and singing. Utterly devoted to his wife and quietly terrified of being “boring,” he is mortified by her sudden bluntness, yet wants to please. Beneath the flustered exterior is a very tender admission of insecurity. Great reactive comedy and comfort with mature material required. LEAD
Tammy
Female, 60s-70's, open ethnicity, Harold’s fearless, foul-mouthed wife, who has decided it’s time to spice up their long marriage and has no patience for tiptoeing. Brave and blunt, she is hurt when her husband and the therapist laugh at what took real courage to say. Must be comfortable with strong language, sexual humour, and strong comedic timing. LEAD
BETHANY
An earnest and proactive community healthcare worker who reaches out to Maggie on behalf of a rural community in desperate need of expanded medical services.
CLERK
A straightforward town hall clerk who processes Maggie and Cal's marriage license application.
CAR SALESMAN
Confident car salesman who assists Cal and Dakota as they search for a spacious vehicle at a local dealership
