Role description

Here are some sample scenes to use: SELLECK: 1. "Hey there. If you're a go-getter like me you're probably on the go, doing cool things like driving sports cars, hiking mountains, saving lives, building things, getting tattoos, playing beach volleyball, and enjoying Sheepdog Brew Co." 2. "When you’re crashing and need that energy boost on the go what do you do? Get backed up in a drive-through line to blow your hard-earned cash on some glorified dirt water? Real go-getters don’t spend 15 minutes a day—or 65 hours a year—in a lineup. Ain’t nobody got time for that. 3. "Iced coffee? More like coffee-flavoured tap water. That’s essentially what you end up drinking. Ice cubes are a precious resource better conserved for more noble causes—like Old Fashioneds." 4. I mean, you could always step it up and get some latte art from a college-student. There’s nothing wrong with that, but at Sheepdog Brew Co. they don’t see coffee as a 10-dollar, Insa-worthy dessert…. …they see it as a flavour-foward, smooth-sippin energy boost without the need for whipped cream and sugar and hundreds of calories.
