Héros - 35-50 ans
C'est le personnage qui va utiliser le camion Tundra de Toyota. Pensez "héros" classique, il parait bien dans le style "leading man" pensez aux acteurs américains Jon Hamm ou Jamie Fox pour inspirer vos suggestions mais ne vous limitez pas unqiuement à cela. Cheveux poivre et sel sont les bienvenues.
Homme au café - 45-55 ans
Ouvert à toutes communautés ethnoculturelles. C'est un travailleur de la construction. Cet homme en a vue des choses et n'est pas facilement impressionnable. Quand il aperçoit le Tundra en buvant son café, il est capable de faire des réactions subtiles et aussi drôles.
Homme Soudeur - 30-40 ans
Nous aimerions recevoir particulièrement des suggestions d'acteurs d'origine asiatiques. C'est un travailleur de la construction. On va voir cet homme lever son masque de soudeur. Son visage est expressif. Il exprime un mélange d'admiration et de curiosité en apercevant le Tundra en mouvement sur le chantier.
Femme - 45 - 55 ans
C'est la "boss" du chantier. Elle est avec son assistant qui s'occupe de la logistique du chantier sur une plateforme. Ça pourrait être une Hannah Waddingham (la patronnne de l'équipe de soccer dans Ted Lasso) portant des verres solaires dans le style aviateur. Elle peut avoir un peu de glamour même sur un chantier. C'est elle la patronne.
Homme Assistant - 30-40 ans
Ouvert à toutes communautés ethnoculturelles. C'est l'assistant en logistique qu'on aperçoit avec la "boss". Il tient un Ipad et discute avec elle quand il aperçoit le Tundra. Une inspiration pourrait être le personage de Nate (l'assistant entraineur) dans Ted Lasso mais ne limitez pas uniquement vos suggestions à ce type.
Willard
35 to 55 years old, open ethnicity man. An overprotective family man, Willard is Sweetwater’s town pastor. He stands rooted in his conservative beliefs and prides himself on maintaining a flawless family life, caring about his image so deeply that it often teeters on a menacing control.

Marianne
35 to 55 years old, open ethnicity woman. A mother to Sam and Timothy, Marianne is the picture perfect housewife.

(SUPPORTING)
Lila
Characterized by a strong sense of determination and resilience. Despite facing financial hardships and caring for a sick father, she maintains a hopeful spirit. Her appearance is modest, reflecting her humble circumstances. There's a raw vulnerability beneath her tough exterior, hinting at the emotional toll her situation has taken.
Hudson
Wealthy and superficial, Hudson initially appears to be condescending to everyone around him. After his chance encounter with Lila, he undergoes a deep transformation, revealing a more compassionate side. There's a growing sense of empathy and remorse as the story progresses, and Hudson develops a new understanding of both Lila and himself.
Mark
A shady character with a street-smart demeanor who operates as an unofficial pawn shop buying and selling stolen goods. He consistently takes advantage of those in desperate situations in order to run his business and is unmoved by Lila’s story and determination to help her father. There's a calculated coldness in his eyes, revealing a man who prioritizes profit over everything else.

GRANDPA
55 to 65 years old, Filipino man. Left to raise his young Granddaughter, Grandpa is a kind, caring, yet stern man who loves her more than life and often makes traditional Filipino dishes at her request. Over the years he watches as his Granddaughter grows up and starts to push him away. This is a tough pill to swallow.
