Role description

Please submit East Asian actors who can speak Cantonese or Mandarin fluently. This is a re-release of breakdown. Do not submit actors who have already taped for this role. Thank you! Bryce wishes he was the brawn of the family. Making homemade kung-fu movies with the only people who will, his uncle and his 9-year-old sister, breeds a deep insecurity he hides with fake confidence. Bryce just wants someone to think he is awesome and finds himself lying to make it happen. If your client is not Vancouver based, please add their location in Note section.

Sunday April 20, 2025
Submissions from
Vancouver
Role description

Riley is a thoughtful and intelligent young woman, caught between self-acceptance and the fear of rejection from her deeply religious family. Studying health sciences at Stanford, she appears to have it all together, but beneath the surface, she struggles with being honest about who she is. Though independent, Riley has a deep fear of being alone, often tolerating situations she shouldn't out of the worry that standing up for herself will leave her isolated. Well-liked by those around her, Riley still feels like an outsider in her own life, afraid that embracing her true self could shatter the stability she’s built. Moving away for school allowed her the freedom to be herself, as she’s been keeping her relationship with Bree a secret from her family. However, when Bree unexpectedly arrives at dinner, Riley reaches a breaking point with her mom and can no longer hide. Faced with her mother’s disapproval, she finally finds the courage to stand up for herself, risking everything in the hope of being accepted for who she truly is.
