Amy Johnson
AMY JOHNSON: 30-44, CAUCASIAN. This role requires a general American accent. Quebec based talent only. Amy is a tightly-wound cash management officer at the bank. She prides herself on professionalism and has little patience for interruptions or what she perceives as incompetence. Beneath her polished exterior lies a deep-seated prejudice, particularly towards Jaden, whom she sees as a threat and an outsider. Her condescending remarks reflect her disdain for anyone she views as beneath her, and she frequently resorts to offensive stereotypes to belittle Jaden. Amy is driven by her own ambitions and frustrations, which fuel her harsh judgments. Her insistent need for control and her dismissive attitude create an air of hostility, making it difficult for her to empathize with others, especially those she considers different or inferior.
Jaden Davies
JADEN DAVIES: 30-44, BLACK. This role requires a general American accent. Quebec based talent only. Jaden is a father and successful businessman with a philanthropic drive, forced to navigate a challenging situation with grace despite the prejudices he faces. He enters the bank determined to deposit money raised for a good cause, but quickly finds himself on the defensive against Amy's hostility. Jaden’s patience and persistence stand out as he tries to advocate for his cause, even as Amy continually undermines him. His calm demeanor in the face of aggression highlights his resilience, but he also reveals moments of vulnerability, especially in his interactions with his daughter. Jaden’s commitment to helping others motivates him to persist in the face of adversity, even when confronted with stereotypes that unfairly label him.
Makayla Davies
MAKAYALA DAVIES: 8-12 YRS, BLACK. This role requires a general American accent. Quebec based talent only. Makayla, Jaden’s 10-year-old daughter, is an innocent presence in a tense situation. She looks up to her father and seeks his reassurance amid the conflict. Her youth and vulnerability contrast sharply with the harshness of Amy's words, making her reactions—such as her anxiety and eagerness to please—particularly poignant. While she is caught in a difficult environment, her presence serves as a reminder of the stakes involved in her father's fight for respect and recognition. Makayla's innocence and need for her father's guidance highlight the impact of adult conflicts on children, showcasing her as a sympathetic figure in an otherwise hostile interaction.
Karen
KAREN: 45-65, CAUCASIAN. This role requires a general American accent. Quebec based talent only. Karen, the administrative assistant, embodies the stereotype of the entitled “Karen.” She takes pleasure in gossiping and undermining others, particularly those she believes are socially or economically disadvantaged. Her comments about Jaden before he enters the office suggest a lack of compassion, and she seems to find amusement in the misfortune of others. Although she maintains a professional facade, her true nature is revealed through her snarky comments and judgmental demeanor.
Albert
ALBERT aka ALBIE LANGSTON: 45- 65, CAUCASIAN. This role requires a general American accent. Quebec based talent only. Albert (Albie), the bank manager, is a down-to-earth, well-meaning figure who is out of the office during key moments of conflict between Amy and Karen vs Jaden and Makayla. Ironically, he too enters the bank, covered in dirt from the same charity mud-run that Jaden threw; they’re business associates but good acquaintances, too, and Albie has always jumped at any opportunity to support Jaden's philanthropic endeavours. Albie’s return uncovers the prejudice of his staff, leading him to take swift action and express heartfelt regret.
Valerie
VALERIE: 18-29, CAUCASIAN. This role requires a general American accent. Quebec based talent only. All-American– blonde hair, blue eyes. Valerie’s a helpful bank teller. New to the job and eager to please, she’s a bubbly and approachable woman who clocks the interactions between Amy and Jaden, but remains silent, choosing to ignore the conflict instead of helping to diffuse it.
Eddie
EDDIE: 18-29, CAUCASIAN. This role requires a general American accent. Quebec based talent only. Tall, strong and naturally attractive. Eddie’s the charmingly handsome account clerk, the All-American man. He knows his job inside and out, and is always ready to offer assistance. He’s not eager to please, persé, he just naturally seems to put a smile on all his clients faces.
