Role description

Jed is reserved and somewhat nerdy, but charming and likeable in his own right. He's on his way to purchase a new bike when an acquaintance, Carter, awkwardly invites himself to tag along. Deep down, Jed is irked by Carter's seemingly haughty attitude towards him, but chooses to maintain a veil of civility between them. When Carter begins flirting with Liz, the bike seller, and enters into a bidding war with him over his dream bike, the illusion of courtesy between them shatters as Jed assaults Carter and rides off with the bike. We're looking for someone that is comfortable with improvisation and has a comedic flare.
