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.

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.
