Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Gerard | Male 40 - 60 Years old |
Description Gerard, 40-60, is a rugged, traditional man with very strong values. By upholding high expectations for his family and himself, he’s not afraid to be blunt. His passion and talent for cuisine have grown infected by the poison of his view of tradition. Above all, he is a hypocrite. Although he says he values tradition, he fails to serve it in his family’s honor. (Must be fluent in English with an authentic French accent)Gérard - 40-60 ans, homme. Père robuste et traditionnel, porteur de valeurs extrêmement fortes. Exigeant envers sa famille comme envers lui-même, il n’a aucune difficulté à être direct, voire brutal. Sa passion et son talent pour la cuisine ont été corrompus par l’obsession toxique qu’il a du passé et de la tradition. Par-dessus tout, c’est un hypocrite : bien qu’il prêche l’importance de l’héritage, il ne l’honore pas réellement au sein de sa propre famille. (Must be fluent in English with an authentic French accent) This role is budgeted for Toronto locals ONLY. | ||
