Description Neil is a middle-age man who believes he is still a 17-year-old high school student serving detention in 1990. He is easily impressionable, cocky, immature, and not the sharpest tool in the shed. He is kept company by a sock puppet friend, Mikey, whom Neil voices. Mikey represents the more logical and mature side of Neil, and challenges Neil’s imaginary reality.Actor being cast in the role of Neil will also be voicing Mikey (the sock puppet). There will be a scene where the actor will be shirtless and in swim shorts/boxers. | ||
