We are casting for a Full Feature length Movie in Canton, OH. This movie will be about the everyday life of a Comic Shop Owner and his Various Customers. If interested please contact Dualphoenix71@gmail.com or come to the Casting Call at the Stark County Main Branch Library at 715 Market Ave N, Canton, OH 44702 on June 30th from 1-4 PM. The following is a list of Character Sides: TOM — 50 something year old Shop Owner. Tom almost always seems happy. He is quick-witted, intelligent, easy going, and a fountain of knowledge both comic book oriented and other. He is hard to anger but not someone you want to deal with when he gets angry. He is charitable to a fault... some might call him an “easy touch” but his charity stops if he thinks someone is trying to take advantage of him. He tries not to be judgmental but is still a good judge of character. BOB (JON) – Customer/friend/employee. Jon seems happy-go-lucky but that facade hides his depression and low self-esteem. He seems to speak without a filter but, in truth, measures his every statement. He is very intelligent and a voracious reader. He is sharp-witted with a tongue to match. ANGIE (DANI) – Defender of those she cares about and also Jon’s wife. Dani is very intelligent but worries that others do not notice and only see her as “Jon's Wife”. She is not someone a person wants to get on the wrong side of. If she believes in something she is nearly fanatic in her loyalty and is devastated if the person or thing lets her down. WAYNE (SHANE) - mid 20s not the brightest bulb in the chandelier possibly from taking one too many falls from ladders while doing local wrestling shows. Shane is actually much smarter than he would seem at first glance but since he often is the last to get the joke seems like a bit of a dullard. He is good looking and knows he is and in his world, that is more important than being smart. KAREN - mid-20s Shane’s wife. Karen is a very pretty lady with a great shape and impeccable taste which makes it a puzzle as to why she is married to Shane. She has probably never had many close friends just people who wanted to be around her because of who she was and how she looked, therefore, she doesn't trust many people. She is very much used to getting her own way. DEBRA (SUSAN) - Late teens hot looking girl who wandered into the shop one day and for some inexplicable reason, becomes totally enamored with Tom. Susan is a very intelligent person...her knowledge is way beyond her years. She is very defensive and very feisty. Unfortunately, she has been Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, and Sexually abused most of her life. She is being raised by “foster Parents” who do not treat her very well and is generally a loner who does not fit in very well anywhere. Being accepted by Tom has been a new experience and she is trying very hard to understand why...In the past, the only reason men wanted anything to do with her always involved sex and she can't wrap her mind around there being any other reason. She has EXTREMELY low self-esteem. TREVOR (TRAV) - Mid-late 20s Afro-American man. Trev is a fairly angry young man. He has gotten into quite a bit of trouble as he just does not believe rules and laws apply to him. He seldom takes responsibility for his actions. He considers himself a lady’s man and does have more than a few sexual encounters notched in his belt but probably has little understanding of true love. Despite all those flaws he is, at heart a good guy who is always eager to help people who need help. BEN (CHRIS) - Mid-late 20s Afro-American man…Trev’s buddy from childhood. Chris comes from a very dysfunctional family (his mother is an alcoholic and his father completely out of the picture). Despite having spent much of his younger years running wild on the streets he has a good grasp of right and wrong and has never been arrested. He grew up feeling like the runt of the litter so it is very important to him to be strong. His physique is very important to him and he is always working out. Unfortunately, he is less worried about his mental physique and thus not very good scholastically. (Both Ben and Trevor look to Tom as a father figure) OFFICER DAN (designated O. D.)- local cop. Dan has known Tom since he was in College (so long before he became a police officer). Dan is very honest and his job is very important to him and he does it very well. He and Tom joke about Dan's lack of enthusiasm but Dan is diligent in making certain he does his job as well as he can. He truly tries to make a difference at making the city safe. However, when he is in the shop he is just one more “Kid in A Comic Shop” ...Though he is not against playing the “I Am The Law” card to win an argument with the other “Kids”. NORBERT - customer. We really do not know much about Norbert but judging by his interactions one would gather he has not been treated well by others most of his life. He is socially awkward, shy, and used to being made fun of. It takes all the courage he can muster just to walk into the shop and ask about “His Magazine” all the while fearing he will be made fun of or physically assaulted...just for being different. ROBIN - A local hooker. Robin's situation is not that much different than many other women who get caught up in this sort of street life. She is a smart, vulnerable, lady who fell for the wrong guy and lost everything she once had. She is not strung out on any hard drugs so she has a chance to escape this life but that window of escape is getting smaller and smaller. “Life on the Streets” is starting to take its toll on her. She is becoming more jaded and there is a hardness creeping into both her looks and her attitude. RICH (RON) – Customer/friend. Rich is “The New Guy”. He has only been coming into the shop for a few weeks but he has found a “home” among these other members of this non-exclusive club. He is amiable, relatively intelligent and quite able to hold his own in any conversation/ discussion/argument with the rest of the “Gang”. MARK - mid 20s Yuppie type but very gay. Mark wears his homosexuality like a “Badge of honor” probably because he had to keep it hidden for so many years of his life. There is a bit of an edge to Mark. He has been humiliated and abused for most of his life so is generally defensive and very quick to strike back if he thinks he is being attacked. JOE – a generic customer GEORGE – a generic customer ART – a generic customer age late 50s or early 60s
