Description
Anxious, endearing, and painfully self-aware, Oscar is a queer college student struggling with issues of sexuality and identity and his digestion. He meets TJ on the apps and finds TJ incredibly attractive. On their date, Oscar wrestles with nerves surrounding his inexperience, and the nausea from his incredibly upset stomach.

Description
Confident, effortlessly charming, and a little oblivious, TJ is an older hookup who met Oscar on the apps. He's confident in his sexuality and discussing things on the topic. He likes Oscar and isn't turned off by his inexperience. Frat-boy energy with moments of surprising sincerity. Must be comfortable with implied sex scene with male actor, and scene in bed with implied nudity (implied only). Please note if actor has dance experience (NOT a requirement).
