ZOE - RECALLS
Mid to late 20s, ANY ETHNICITY - the character is NOT BLOND A stunning Hollywood starlet who is about to break out. She has the world at her feet, yet preserves a likable warmth. Quirky, disarming charm and a magnetic presence. Zoe is confident, passionate, and clever, but not naive. She’s the kind of person who can command a room without trying. There’s a groundedness beneath her easy charisma—she sees through the industry’s BS, but still plays the game.
Jordan
Caucasian -ACTORS WITH COMEDY/STAND UP A BONUS BUT NOT RESTRICTED TO THIS - a Canadian semi-successful stand up comic He is very confident and has a great stage presence, and he comes up with very smart comedy. He is arrested by ICE when trying to enter Rochester NY for a stand-up gig While he is a smart-aleck, we also see that he is very affected and bummed out by being arrested and incarcerated. Once in prison, he gets his mojo back enough to be able to start performing comic stand up routines for the other inmates.
