CASTING/SEEKING:

OUR ACTORS ARE NORMAL FOLK, BUT NOT PLAIN OR BORING NORMAL. THEY SHOULD BE INTERESTING AND INTRIGUING. THEY NEED DEFINING CHARACTERISTICS THAT DIFFERENTIATE THEM AND MAKE THEM “POP” ON SCREEN. THEY’RE “ARCHETYPES”, BUT UNEXPECTED ONES

SHERYL – FEMALE – 18-30 YRS OLD – ANY RACE
SHE’S THE UNASSUMING INTERN WHO HAS JUST UNEXPECTEDLY RISEN TO POWER WITH AN IRON FIST, THANKS TO HARVEY’S. EVEN THOUGH SHE MIGHT NOT LOOK IT, SHE ACTS LIKE THE WOLF OF WALL STREET. SHE DOESN’T OWN A POWER SUIT OR POWER TIE, BUT THE OFFICE IS ABOUT TO GET A POWERHOUSE OF ATTITUDE IN A VERY SMALL BODY. PERHAPS SHE HAS AN OTHERWISE QUIET, MOUSY VOICE, BUT BARKS BIG ORDERS. CONTRAST IS KEY HERE. SHE DOESN’T NEED TO BE TINY, BUT THAT COULD POTENTIALLY HELP THE VISUAL COMEDY.

CO-WORKERS – MALES AND FEMALES – 35-60 YRS OLD – ANY RACE
(CASTING 4 PEOPLE IN TOTAL – 2 PRINCIPAL ROLES AND 2 SOC ROLES)
OUR TWO MAIN COWORKERS ARE LIKELY HIGHER UP IN THE COMPANY (POTENTIALLY EVEN THE FOUNDERS), HENCE THEIR ONE-ON-ONE CONVERSATION IN THE MAIN OFFICE AS THEY LOOK ON INTO THE PITS. THEY’RE NOT YOUR TYPICAL BOSSES IN SUIT AND TIE, BUT THEY STILL TAKE THEIR WORK VERY SERIOUSLY. THEY’RE A DIFFERENT BREED OF STANFORD ALUM WITH A TECH BACKGROUND WHO HAVE BEEN PARTNERS SINCE IT WAS A SMALL STARTUP BACK IN 2006. PICTURE MARK ZUCKEBERB, ELON MUSK, LARRY PAGE OR SERGEY BRIN, JEFF BEZOS, AMY WEBB AND CINDY MI. EVEN IF THEY’RE PUSHING 60, THEY’RE A YOUNG AND HIP AND IN SHAPE 60. HECK IT COULD BE A MORE JACKED VERSION OF RICHARD BRANSON
