ROLES:
MICHAEL (lead) – Late 30s to early 40s, half Asian (Vietnamese), half Caucasian (American). Michael was born in Vietnam during the war and at age 5 was taken by his parents to safety in America. Now, after 30 years, he has returned to Vietnam to be reunited with his half-brother Lanh, who was left behind. Michael is a (somewhat unsuccessful) photographer. He is very Americanized–but he wishes he weren’t.

He is full-blooded Vietnamese and was left behind during the war. After 30 years, he has become a ruthless and successful businessman. He has never forgotten his little brother–nor forgiven him for what is in their past.
