Roles

Role type	Role	Gender & Age range
Lead	Sosa	Male
Description Character is male, 50s-60s. A ruthless mob boss and the father of Jimmy Boy, Sosa is a man who demands deference; he's the kind of guy you simply do not cross, ever. He's a doting parent who's been seething for the last six years, because his darling boy has been locked up in prison, thanks to the conniving of a rat. But now Sosa (who is capable of operatic levels of joy, grief, and rage) is getting his son back, and he's planned a series of parties (and bloody revenge) that will set this town back on its ears. And then, just because of a time machine, everything starts to go wrong, like a goddamned game of Jenga.

Supporting	Jimmy Boy	Male
Description Character is male, 30 years old. This handsome idiot is Sosa's only son and heir apparent. He spent the last six years of his life in prison, thanks to a rat in the organization, and for his first day of freedom, his doting father has prepared a night-long round of parties and presents and sexual escapades. Unable to perform sexually after his moron friend Dumbass Tony warns him about such an eventuality, Jimmy Boy has a very long night that will never be repeated --because Jimmy Boy does not live to see the dawn...

Description Character is male, 40s-60s. The greatest assassin in the known world, this khaki-clad killer has been hired by Sosa to assassinate Mike at the Zenith Hotel; he is first seen in clip-on sunglasses and an untucked polo shirt. He looks like a tourist from the Midwest, not an infamous cannibal assassin from central Europe. After apparently shooting Mike to death, he is revealed to be Chet, an expert on squibs and fake movie deaths, who has been hired by Future Nick to impersonate The Barron just long enough to teach Nick a lesson. He enjoys the experience tremendously...

He thinks he’s cool but no one in the mob respects him. Always willing to do the boys a favor, he later plants a vast assortment of ammunition at Sosa's mansion, no questions asked...

After Nick pulls a gun and is ready to kill him, the Stoned Cashier hopes that Officer Scheer (who's in the neighborhood) will arrest Nick -- only Scheer is so dirty that he backs Nick's play, all the way, and Stoned Cashier is obliged to stay out of the three-way battle royale that soon follows...
