Role description

Still considering first reads, if your client has taped, no need to tape again. Marcus is the voice of reason and a stabilizing influence, constantly trying to manage the chaos around Aaron while protecting both Aaron's career and the safety of the fans. He is the responsible figure who balances the pressures of fame, logistical challenges, and the consequences of Aaron's reckless behaviour. As Aaron's manager, Marcus struggles to maintain control over a volatile situation, becoming a moral counterpoint to Aaron’s impulsive and destructive actions, particularly when he confronts Aaron about crowd safety and ultimately tries to cancel the show. Appearance: Average height, slightly stronger build, older figure (Suggestion, please submit broadly.)

Due date
Monday September 23, 2024
Submissions from
Vancouver
Role description

Looking for younger options to match a younger AARON. An icon herself, NIA needs to support her 'star quality' through her energy in the script, as her on-camera presence is greater than her lines. Thanks! Aaron's girlfriend and mother of their small child. Nia is the emotional anchor and moral conscience in Aaron's chaotic world. As his girlfriend, she appears to care for him but is increasingly disillusioned by his reckless behaviour. Her role reflects the tension between loyalty and disapproval, as she tries to balance support for Aaron with her growing concern for the harm he causes. Nia's presence highlights the personal consequences of Aaron's actions, both for her and the innocent people affected by his choices, symbolizing the struggle of those who are close to self-destructive individuals but feel powerless to intervene. Appearance: Smaller, young adult. (Suggestion, please submit broadly.)
