Charlie is physically fit but has recently stopped taking care of himself, showing signs of grief through darker clothing, messy hair, and heavy eye bags. He pretends to be fine, quietly repressing his pain rather than expressing it, which comes through in his distant and tired behavior. Because his family expects him to appear perfect and “over” his grief, Charlie feels pressured to fake emotional progress he hasn’t actually reached.

Sam is scrawnier but physically fit, with a youthful appearance and a strong focus on style, shown through bright, patterned clothing and carefully styled hair.

Description: Nate is a stalled adult who has been living in quiet avoidance for years. He is broke, ashamed, and emotionally constipated, still carrying the trauma of discovering his father’s death as a teenager. He has built his life around control, numb routines, and not looking too closely at himself. He avoids intimacy, avoids conflict, and avoids anything that might pull the past back into the room. On the surface, Nate insists he is fine. He smiles, deflects, makes himself useful, and keeps conversations moving so nobody lingers on him. He is the guy who says “all good” while his life is clearly not. Underneath, he is adrift with no real plan, no momentum, and no sense of identity beyond what he has been running from. The only thing that consistently anchors him is his childhood friends, the same people who have been carrying him quietly since the worst night of his life. When Nate inherits his estranged father’s house, he returns to the one place he never processed. The house becomes a literal arena of memory and shame, weaponizing the things Nate tried to bury. Over one night, Nate is forced to stop running, face the truth about his father, and choose growth over self loathing. His arc is sincere: resentment to grief, repression to acceptance, shame to agency. Requirements: -Comfortable with intense emotional scenes (panic, grief, anger). -Comfortable with physical performance (running, struggling with props, staged fights, getting dirty). -Comfortable with mature themes, crude horror, and simulated bodily fluid gags. -Strong screen presence and stamina. Nate is in almost every scene.

The role requires an actor who can balance fast comedic timing with vulnerability and insecurity, keeping the character relatable even at his worst.
