Casting Breakdowns:
Will
Travers – Age
range (24-32). A handsome, Caucasian, clean cut young man in his mid to late
twenties; he has the confidence of a conductor except for when it comes to
women. Dresses conservatively. He’s the manager of the pawn shop and has been
running it for years like a well oiled machine. In fact, if it wasn’t for him
the shop would probably close. When it comes to women though he’s been run
over by Vanessa a million times and for whatever reason keeps taking it. There
are times when he wants to leave her but just can’t bring himself to do it.
He’s relatively conservative in manner. Well polite, doesn’t see himself as
a ladies man. Likes his life but would rather fix his relationship with Vanessa
and be happy. Has a crush on Melissa that he’s not about to act on. Makes
great money.
Jay
– Caucasian (24-32) One of Will’s best friends and co-workers. He’s the
employee “fuck up” of the Pawn shop. Doesn’t care about customer service
just making the company as much money as possible whatever it takes; and he
does. This is why he’s able to keep his job. He’s rude, often a smart-ass,
doesn’t respect women and usually anyone in general. He’s crude and often
sloppy in dress. He’s tough on the FNG’s until they prove themselves to him.
He does respect Will and Shorty however. Thinks he’s god’s gift to women.
Shorty – Caucasian (24-32) Co-worker and another best
friend of Wills. He’s the “together one,” of the pawn shop employees and
the “go to guy,” for Will when he’s not around. He’s polite, respectful
of people and customers and makes a lot of money for the pawn shop in a good
employee way. He cares about the customers and likes to give them a good deal.
Ethan – African-American, (22-32) The Fucking New Guy (FNG)
The new employee at the Pawn shop learning the ropes from the other three.
He’s polite and naïve. Is a pretty good salesman but still needs to learn the
pawn shop business to be great. Likes the business and the others and wants to
do a good job.
Melissa – Caucasian (24-32) Will’s crush. She’s
gorgeous, and voluptuous. The epitome of drop-dead gorgeous, though she
doesn’t seem to think so. She’s a beautiful girl with a nice and humble
character; who happens to be in love with Will. She has the “girl next
door,” mentality with the body of a super model.
Vanessa – Caucasian (24-32) Will’s long-time girlfriend.
Equally as beautiful as Melissa but with the personality of a bitch. She’s
abusive to men and treats them like pawns. She uses her God-given assets to get
what she wants out of men and then squeezes them for more. She’s covert and
therefore you never know if she’s being sincere or not as it always looks as
though she is. She could kiss you one minute, while telling you she loves you
and break your heart the minute you turn away. She’s using Will. (Topless
Nudity, one scene only)
Ralphie – Caucasian (24-32) Friend of Will’s and Potheads.
The conservative geek kid that for some reason seemed to make friends with
Pothead. Respects Will immensely and likes to help him when he can. Is into
healthy living and conscious awareness of life and livingness. Loves women but
feels insecure and inferior around them so doesn’t really pursue them. He’s
honest and a good, caring friend. Loves music and is always listening to his
IPOD.
Lori
– Caucasian (24-32) Melissa’s best friend. Attractive and polite. Cares for
Melissa a lot and wants to see her happy and with the right guy. If that’s
Will then so be it. Very supportive of Melissa. Respectful of others including
men. Cares about Will because Melissa does and that’s enough for her.
Please download Melissa's sides for this role
Jill
– Caucasian (24-32) Vanessa’s best friend and the equal bitch to Vanessa.
She treats men the same, and would even screw around with Vanessa’s boyfriends
if she could. Men are just pawn pieces to be moved around and used at will.
Please download Melissa's sides for this role
Rick – Caucasian (24-34) an ordinary handsome guy who just happens to be the flavor of Vanessa’s month. Yet he doesn’t know it nor does he really care. He’s the men’s version of Vanessa. Will sleep with anyone and could care less in the morning. Is using Vanessa though she thinks she’s using him. Has an eye on Jill as the next notch on his belt. Doesn’t care what he’s doing to Will or anyone else for that matter. Very stylish in dress and suave in manner. He’s the true “bad-boy.”
