He does not get out of the house much and prefers to hide in his fish fantasies. Garry comes across as a very bland and closed-off person before becoming a fish. Before the film, he has confronted his want to be a fish in the past, but never publicly. It was always more of a “costume” or a funny joke between friends. Despite his own denial, everyone around him knew he was a fish before he did. - Must have experience in improv, or clown, or physical comedy. -Must be okay with stage makeup -Non-dialogue role
