Character Breakdowns:
PETER SIMPSON: male or female/40s-late 50s/any ethnicity
– A comic book publishing executive who walks and acts like an immaculately dressed big time movie studio mogul from the Golden Age. As if Ron Swanson was a character in a Christopher Guest movie. *though the character is a male called Peter Simpson, women are allowed to audition as well. If the best actor happens to be a woman, then the character will be re-written as such.

PATRICK: male/late 50s-early 60s/Caucasian
– A former media professor from college, Patrick is a southern gentleman widower who depends on the assistance of a cane to walk. Conservative and traditional, Patrick sticks out as being one who constantly struggles with modern technology and trends.

DAVE: male/early-mid 20s/any ethnicity
– Young college graduate whose overly nice-guy demeanor and hard-working ambition has allowed him to rise in his work fast. He is a very successful businessman, but is remarkably modest in his personal life, as well as being borderline TOO friendly.

KYLE: male/8-13/Caucasian
– The much younger brother of the character Jen. A very shy boy who is very picky of who he opens up to.
