She’s a grounding presence who has always put others before herself, sometimes to her own detriment, but recent events have sparked a shift in her, driving her to stand up for her own worth.

| Lead | DARREN | Male 30 - 44 Years old |
Description LEAD - DARREN (30-44)Darren, a successful yet arrogant man in his early 40s, masks his insecurities with an air of superiority and entitlement. He has a strong need for control and uses his wealth as a shield to justify his actions, often belittling those he sees as “beneath” him, including Jessica and Joseph. While he has moments of regret, Darren’s ego often prevents him from fully grasping the consequences of his actions, leaving him unable to genuinely connect with others or earn the loyalty he desperately craves. HMU & WARDROBE: DAY 1 - SCENE 1&2: A put together look. Maybe some dress pants and a nice shirt. HMU: Hair should look styled with hair gel. Clean face and shave. DAY 2 - SCENE 3: A collared shirt and dark washed jeans. HMU: Hair should look styled with hair gel. Clean face and shave. | ||
