Copy and IMDB credit only for non-speaking roles.
Rachel Ashcroft (leading role, early 30s, open ethnicity) – dark haired, attractive but not overly. Intelligent, quick on her feet, sarcastic and a take-no-bullshit approach to life. Single-minded, intense but can provide moments of slight comedy.
Charlie (Male sidekick, late 20s-early 30s, open ethnicity) – unruly hair, a genius when it comes to computer hacking and decoding. A computer nerd and cultural geek. Has a slight crush on Rachel. Funny, improv desired as well as strong with dramatic scenes.
Quinn Ashcroft (Rachel’s sister, late 20s-early 30s, open ethnicity) – beautiful and approachable but exasperated with the Rachel character. Must have good familial chemistry with Rachel.
Dales (mentor, 50s to 60s, open ethnicity) – husky, formerly built older male with the weight of the world on his shoulders. Resigned to his own fate but not without passing the torch to a worthy renegade.
Kid (10-13, off screen only) – a gamer with inappropriate insults.
Non-speaking Roles
Man in Black (30s to 40s, open ethnicity) – mysterious, dangerous, strong in stature.
Wife (50s to 60s, open ethnicity) – emotional, ability to cry on cue a must.
Police Officer (late 20s to early 60s, open ethnicity) – stoic, provides a quiet comfort.
