o Sex: Female
o Age: 18-40
o Race: n/a

o Race: Caucasian or Hispanic
o Hair Color: n/a
o Special Skills: Ability to speak Latin or Spanish is a plus(but not necessary).
o Character Description: A Catholic priest with a Zen-like attitude towards life. He is quiet, mysterious, deep. Alan watches him as he frequents a church in search of help. The priest encourages Alan to fight against “evil” in the world.

o Character Description: This group of characters play a very important role in the film. They are the villians who spy on Alan as he goes about his daily life. Since this movie is a psychological thriller, the doctors play the spies and spies play the doctors. In Alan’s mind they are Russian spies, in reality, they are Russian doctors/scientists who are doing experiments on Alan. When Alan hallucinates that people are following him, he is really hallucinating the real doctors that he is seeing while imprisoned in a lab.
