teenage daughter. Breakdown-- Gillian Livingston: A beautiful,
bohemian book editor living in a New York City loft, Gillian is Peter's
ex-wife, the mother of 14 years old Rose, and is now engaged to Daniel.
An edgy, restless, cigarette-smoking, martini-swilling sophisticate, Gillian
constantly engages her ex-husband in verbal combat. Gillian's world turns
upside down when her daughter is diagnosed with a deadly form of cancer.
The only chance of saving Rose is finding a matching bone marrow donor
and the only sure way of finding a donor is to give birth to one: she and
her exhusband must conceive another child. Lead; Peter Livingston:
Gillian's ex-husband, a hard-working attorney with a practice in South
Carolina. He's handsome, level-headed, and lives in an immaculate beach
house with his much younger girlfriend. Still very much involved in the
life of his daughter Rose, he is rocked by her diagnosis, but responds
to the crisis with quiet strength. Focused and practical, he is forced
to question his own life choices in coming to terms with the possibility
of losing Rose. Acrimony gives way to compromise as he and Gillian join
forces in their efforts to save her. Lead; Rose Livingston:

girl. While seeing a therapist for depression, she agrees to have some
blood tests done, which leads to her diagnosis of cancer. During chemotherapy,
Rose proves her mettle, demonstrating tremendous courage spirit and humor.
When she realizes that in order to save her life her warring parents are
willing to have another child, she sees possibilities for their reconciliation.
Lead; Daniel: An artist, sexily disheveled, he is Gillian's
fiance, and the father of a teenage boy. In his jeans and paint-spattered
shirt, he is Peter's opposite in every superficial way. Generous, patient,
loving and understanding, he stands by Gillian while she fights to save
the life of her daughter. However, he knows when it's time to bow out of
the picture. Seeking ACTORS BOTH LA or NEW YORK BASED. Lead; Michael

Cathy Henderson Martin; DIR, Ellie Kanner; SCR, David Congalton. Contract:
SAG Low Budget Contract. Shoot Dates: On/About October 6, 2008 (20 days
shoot in Los Angeles, CA). STORY: The film is about a group of struggling
writers meet weekly to try out their material, air grievances, lend one
another support. However, the fabric of the group is sorely tested when
one of them lands an agent, a book deal and a screenwriting contract, all
in quick succession. Breakdown-- Henry Obert: Mid-Late 20s.
Henry is a hopeless romantic, and aspiring novelist whose godhead is F.
Scott Fitzgerald. With a passion for literature, Henry is a wholesome,
kind-hearted, but rather shy young man, who lives alone in a spare studio
apartment, forced to clean carpets and deliver pizza to make ends meet.
Madly in love with Hannah, a lovely young woman in his writing group, he
is working up the nerve to ask her out -- but circumstances conspire against
him. STAR NAME ONLY. Lead; Hannah Rinaldi: Mid 20s. Hannah
is a struggling young writer, a lovely, angelic, kind and goodhearted woman,
equaled by enormous talent. Totally dedicated to her writing, but unschooled
in the classics, she befriends Henry, oblivious to his infatuation with
her. Seemingly a magnet for good luck, she slowly alienates the others
in the writing group who are jealous of her good fortune. STAR NAME ONLY.
Lead; Dr. Alan Mooney: 30s-50s, a professional optometrist.
He is a wannabe writer serving as the writing group's leader. Jovial and
friendly, but clueless as to his incredible lack of talent, Alan is rarely
without his recorder which he uses to remind him of ideas for story lines
as well as character names. Despite his friendliness, he can be boorishly
overbearing. STAR NAME ONLY. Lead; Colette Mooney: 30s-40s.
She is Alan's wife, very spiritual and very pretty. Insecure, jealous and
given to taking herself very seriously, with a flair for the dramatic,
Collette describes herself as a "full-time writer, someone into all things
creative." Intense, with a short fuse, simmering with rage over her continuing
rejection letters, she often confers with her spiritual advisor. Colette
has one goal: to become appear on Oprah as a published author. STAR NAME
ONLY. Lead; William Bruce: Mid 20s-Late 20s, attractive,
talented but too lazy to prove it. He is constantly borrowing money and
hitting on waitresses. Scruffy, infatuated with the writer's lifestyle,
William worships Charles Bukowski. A college drop-out (and proud of it),
he thinks of himself as a "real writer," one who is "experiencing and capturing
the plight of the working class". STAR NAME ONLY. Lead; John K. Butzin:
50s-60s. He is a member of the writing group, a retired military man who
loves Tom Clancy. Pompous and self-centered, with no talent, he always
manages to bring the conversation back to himself. The king of self-promotion,
he is a real spin-master, constantly coming up with half-baked schemes
to get his work out there. STAR NAME ONLY. Lead; Martin Makepeace:
Over 50. He is a burned-out hippie who owns the theatre where the writers
meet. He's got a passion for the arts, and even changed his name as a statement
-- because after all making a statement is what the theatre is all about.
He thinks the world of everyone in the writers' group and is more than
happy to let them meet at the theatre for free. STAR NAME ONLY. Cameo;
Richard
Benedict: Over 40. He is an egotistical best-selling author, much
admired by Henry, until he asks out Hannah. He's a real ladies' man. STAR
NAME ONLY. Cameo; David Keller: Over 35. He is a successful
literary agent, low key in style and "too normal to be an agent." He feels
overwhelmed when a gushy and pushy Alan and Colette converge on him in
the optometrist's office -- when all he wanted was a simple eye exam. STAR
NAME ONLY. Cameo; Lois Piper: Over 50, she is a veteran literary
agent. She has read one too many scripts over the years -- and is ready
to snap. However, she is delighted to see her sister's former spiritual
advisor in her office and immediately comes up with a plan to market him.
STAR NAME ONLY. Supporting Cameo; Dr. Xiroman: Over 40. He
is Colette's mysterious spiritual advisor. Dr. Xiroman is a Buddhist, a
Libertarian and also part Native American. He has taken a vow of silence
for a year and does not talk, only nods and smiles. STAR NAME ONLY. Supporting
Cameo; Eudora: Mid 20s. She is a smiling, friendly and sincere
young waitress with eccentric taste in hair and eyewear. She's also bright,
quick-witted, well-educated and clearly a struggling young writer. Henry
is immediately smitten; Piper's Assistant: Under 35, Male,
detailed, thick-skinned, underpaid and under-appreciated. He is the assistant
to literary agent, Lois Piper; Bookstore Clerk: Under 40,
Female and businesslike. She is trying to keep the line moving as people
queue up to have their books signed by best-selling author Richard Benedict;
Little
Girl at Hardware Store: 8ish. This little girl in a hardware store
can only stare at John who has set up a table for his book-signing; Hardware
Customers #1, #2 & #3: These customers in a hardware store
ask John Hardware questions. None of them are remotely interested in buying
his book; Arguing Woman #1 & #2: Seen in a coffee shop,

that William is taking down their argument verbatim;
Maureen Rinaldi:
50s. She is Hannah's mother. She is so excited when her daughter lands

and clear out the drug dealers. Unfortunately, he's killed before he gets
the chance. Guest Star; Cassie Banks (2005, 2008): Seen at
30 and 33, Caucasian, attractive, a Type A woman. She is Dex's campaign
manager. the two met in law school where she was his sometime-girlfriend.

to work with him, convinced he'd make a great city councilman. However,
she's also sometimes infuriated by his naive idealism. Guest Star; Ronnie
Collins (2005, 2008): 50s, African-American, a salt-of-the-earth
type. Ronnie is Dex's dad, and had raised Dex single-handedly. A lifelong
janitor, Ronnie is Dex's major source of inspiration, a man who believed
in hard work, determination and living with faith. Proud of what Dex had
accomplished, he is deeply saddened by his son's death. Guest Star; Victor
Nash (2005, 2008): Seen at age 30 and then at 33, African-American.
He is an intimidating man, a childhood friend of Dex, who wound up a drug
dealer. Despite his tough veneer, he has a grudging respect for his old
pal, and takes a job helping out with the campaign. However, he's still
angry that while Dex got shipped off to boarding school after a juvenile
drug arrest, he served 2 years at a youth correction facility. Guest Star;
Warren
Wilson (2005, 2008): 40s, African-American. He is a restaurant
proprietor, a family man who's seen too much hurt and killing on the streets
to be easily swayed by the idealistic young Dex. However, he does put his
weight behind Dex, only to have the opposition force the closure of his
restaurant. Outraged when Dex doesn't jump at the chance to use some incriminating
photos to hurt his opponent, Warren snaps, taking out his anger on the
man he'd seen as a savior. Guest Star; Leroy Boone (2005, 2008):
Late 50s, African-American, 30 years on the city council. He is a dark
and moody man, the incumbent Dex is trying to unseat. Like any gangster
on the street, Leroy Boone had muscle, "only his wore a badge." Used to
fighting dirty, he admits that in all his years in politics, he'd never
met anyone like Dex -- and that made life interesting. Guest Star; Lt.
Deputy Commissioner Patick Hogan (2005, 2008): Late 40s, Caucasian.
He is the Lt. Deputy Commissioner, firmly ensconced in Leroy Boone's back
pocket. Hoping to keep things status quo, he had always been happy to do
Leroy's bidding. Guest Star; Assistant District Attorney Alex Bell:
30s, city college bred, seemingly distracted by everything but the interview.
He is an Assistant District Attorney. It appears that self-deprecating
Bell is disorganized and not terribly good at his job, but, in fact, he's
got an ace up his sleeve and knows just how to get what he wants. Guest
Star; Frank Mulwrey (2005, 2008): 40s, Caucasian, with dark
glasses and an attache case, Mulwrey is a real estate developer, a shady
fellow who offers Dex a whole lot of money not to interfere with a building

stores. He meets with Valens and Rush, claiming to have important information
about the Dex murder. One Day Guest Star; Jay Quincy: 40s,
all ethnicities. This smug fellow is a "straw pusher," someone who makes

gun to the person who killed Dex. He's not about to give away anything,
until it seems the ADA is going to lock up his mother if he doesn't talk.
Co-STAR; Harold: 30s, African-American. He is a local reporter,
eager to find out what makes Dex Collins tick, and why he's so determined
to make a difference in his old neighborhood. He also knows that knocking
Leroy Boone off his perch will prove quite a fight. Co-STAR; Josephine:
50s, African-American. The representative of a local church, she tries
to explain to a crestfallen Dex why her church can no longer support him

times. Co-STAR; Jorge Gomez: 20s, Dominican. He is identified

1993 Glee Club (they made it to the Nationals!), and when he spots a chance
to become the Glee Club coach of 2008, he seizes it - even though it will

sandwich wrapped in tinfoil, Emma is both endearing and a little nuts,

voice, and a slumbering passion for classic 80s rock. A kid who has the
collected works of Journey committed to memory, Finn is blackmailed by
Will Schuester into joining the Glee Club, and in fact Finn finds music
to be more fun than grunting and butting heads with other guys. Mercilessly
mocked by his buddies for joining the Glee Club, Finn proves to have an
acerbically accurate vision of the nature of high school society, and clearly
regards it all as an exercise in futile time-wasting. HE MUST BE A GREAT

out with her. SHE MUST BE A GREAT SINGER AND DANCER. Series Regular; Rajeesh:

the history teacher / football coach at Harrison High. Ken has a soft spot
for Emma Pillsbury -- but she won't give him the time of day, because she

shows, but is quite adept at getting Will to volunteer himself for extra
duties at no pay. Recurring Guest Star; Sandy Ryerson: 35-45,
all ethnicities. He's gay, but covers it...most of the time. With a pastel
sweater thrown over his shoulders, Sandy is the former Glee Club teacher,

Andrews, Stephen Merchant, Ryan Sheckler; EXEC PROD, Jim Piddock; PROD,
Jason Blum, Mark Ciardi, Gordon Gray; DIR, Michael Lembeck; SCR, Lowell
Ganz, Babaloo Mandel, Joshua Sternin, Jeffrey Ventimilia. Contract: SAG.
Shoot Dates: October 15, 2008 (in Vancouver, Canada). STORY: The film is
about Derek Thompson, a minor league hockey player, nicknamed "The Tooth
Fairy" for his tendency to loosen molars and bicuspids while working. But
Derek gets an entirely new gig when he's tapped by Magical Forces to be
the real Tooth Fairy and to save the tooth fairy kingdom. Breakdown-- Tracy:
30s-50s, Male, all ethnicities. A smart, socially awkward, persistent Tooth
Fairy, Tracy looks more like the Captain of the High School Debate Team.
An administrative Fairy with no wings, he's a low-level office worker with
a clipboard, assigned to be Derek's case worker. Expert at explaining all
the magical powers of Tooth Fairies, but not so good at using them himself,
Tracy trains a profoundly grumpy Derek in his new gig, and eventually bonds
closely with his pupil -- who needs constant supervision. ESTABLISHED NAMES
ONLY. Lead; Carissa: Early 30s. A smart, attractive woman
and a devoted single mother to Randy (10) and Tess (6). Carissa is dating
Derek, and both are trying to pretend they are made for each other -- which
is challenging since Derek is aggressive and insincere, and Carissa is
sweet but selfdeceiving. As a warm, caring mother and ferocious advocate
for her children's emotional well being it is a necessity that her other
half be just as committed and loving to them as she is. Derek's cynical
disbelief in himself soon manifests itself when interacting with her kids.
Carissa is not happy with the results and she begins to think that Derek's
lack of hope is reason enough to cut the relationship off at the knees.
Lead; Lily: A high-ranking female supervisor with the Tooth
Fairy Department. Lily is a hardass with magnificent wings, a crisp, austere,
acerbic woman who takes a dim view of new ideas and tries to run her section
like a very tight ship -- unfortunately, Derek is her latest addition to
her staff and he proves a handful, requiring overtime to clean up after
every attempted tooth collection. Intensely believing in the importance
of dreams and imagination in the life of a child, Lily watches dourly as
Derek proves to be a very unenchanting Fairy indeed. ESTABLISHED NAMES
ONLY. Lead; Randy: 10, very bright and observant, potentially
a gifted guitar player. Randy is Carissa's son, a good kid who is somewhat
withdrawn and guarded; he's a burgeoning EMO, rather pale, with longish
hair covering his eyes and a surly attitude. Well aware that his father
left the family to run off with another woman, Randy does not trust his
mother's suitors easily, and initially regards Derek as just another insincere
smarmy creep who wants to make brief small talk with him then take his
mother away. But Randy soon recognizes that Derek, though quite odd, has
a determination to hang in there that the others lack, and he comes to
rather enjoy Derek's company. In fact, Randy needs the kind of parental
attention that only a father can give and he bonds quite closely with Derek
-- until Derek decides to vent his bitterness about the hopelessness of
human endeavor at precisely the wrong moment. Lead; Tess:
6, an adorable girl. Tess is Carissa's youngest child, who dotes on Derek
and likes to play with him. But Tess has a screaming fit when her money
from the Tooth Fairy is stolen and Derek loudly informs her that there
ain't no such animal. Emotionally bruised by the encounter, it takes Tess
a while to regain her confidence in Derek -- but when he becomes the real
Tooth Fairy, her affection is rekindled. Lead; Mick Donnelly:
18, an arrogant young hotshot hockey player from Saskatchewan, who knows
he's got the world eating out of his hand, Mick is a new starter with the
Amerks, right out of high school and making a pro forma pit stop in the
minors before the NHL scoops him up. Quick to assert his importance and
authority, Mick lords it over Derek, treating him like a semipathetic has-been.
Lead; Coach: The coach of the Rochester Americans. Coach
tries to conceal the fact that he regards Derek as a hired thug, not as
a real player, and he's startled and upset when Derek tries to prove him
wrong; Jerry: An older pharmacist-type guy, he's in charge
of the Tooth Fairies' magical supply room. A guy who's found his little
domain and rules imperiously there, Jerry outfits a baffled Derek for his
career as a Tooth Fairy Extraordinaire; Carl: A Tooth Fairy.
He wears the male version of Derek's outfit, more Peter Pan than Tinker
Bell, but in iridescent pastels. Contemptuous of Tooth Fairies who are
"Dream Killers," he treats Derek with grating disdain. (Posted: July 8,

Feature Film. CAST, Joanna Reed, Michael Reed; PROD, Nick Wechsler; DIR/SCR,
Massy Tadjedin. Contract: SAG. Shoot Dates: October 22, 2008 (in New York,
NY). STORY: Joanna and Michael Reed seem on the surface to be a "perfect
couple." But when Joanna accuses Michael of contemplating sex with his
attractive co-worker Laura, she succeeds only in shoving him into Laura's
arms. And while Michael is off an a business trip with Laura that soon
becomes fraught with sexual tension, Joanna meets ex-boyfriend Steven Mann
for a casual evening that soon becomes emotionally complicated for both
of them and desire, regret, guilt and passion hover like storm clouds over
both adulterous couples. Breakdown-- Steven Mann: 30s-40s,
Caucasian, cool, composed and fluent. Steven is an ex-boyfriend of Joanna's.
He dated her several years ago, during her brief separation from Michael,
and they broke up before Joanna returned to Michael and married him. But
Steven has carried a well-hidden but just about white-hot torch for her
ever since and to be honest, Joanna sometimes fights the urge to IM him.
He runs into her accidentally on purpose while in Los Angeles on business,
and after learning that her husband is out of town, invites her to a casual
dinner that both of them know will be a night of sexual tension. Steven
spends a long night escorting Joanna to dinner and a party, learning about
her life with Michael and subtly trying to persuade her to consider the
possibility of their relationship. Lead; Laura: Late 20s-Late
30s, all ethnicities. Independent, attractive, and attractively casual
about it, American, Laura is a gifted, highly competent commercial designer
who has been working for Michael's firm for the last three months. She
and Michael have an easy, relaxed working relationship that sits right
on the borderline of being inappropriately flirtatious. After an awkward
meeting with Joanna at a business-related soiree, Laura goes with Michael
and Andy to an important meeting in New Mexico, and Laura appears to be
intent on taking the reins of the relationship, forcing Michael to either
sleep with her or commit fiercely to his monogamy. Sensing Michael's ambivalence,
Laura gives him every possible opportunity to seduce her, even inviting
him into her jacuzzi. But when Michael still hesitates to jeopardize his
marriage, Laura starts to persuade him he wouldn't be. She shares something
personal from her past that's shaped her view of relationships - the love
of her life died. This emotional trigger sends Michael into her arms for
the night. Lead;
Truman Brown: Late 40s-Early 60s, all ethnicities,
an eccentric but quite successful friend of Steven's (could be European).
Truman is perfectly self-assured and perfectly cool, a man who likes to
push the envelope of tact and take liberties with his friends. Impressive
without the least effort, he escorts his much younger girlfriend Sandra
to a double date with Steven and Joanna. No fool, Truman observes Steven
and Joanna closely, and correctly deduces that they're both contemplating
an act of adultery that might change both their lives forever or might
leave them with a burden of guilt that could corrode but not quite kill
Joanna's marriage. A veteran of such evenings, Truman takes Steven aside
to warn him against a casual act that might have painful repercussions
for Joanna. Lead; Andy: 30s, all ethnicities, smart but neurotic,
Andy is Michael's co-worker and Joanna's close friend. A bachelor who has
run through any number of meaningless affairs, Andy is acutely aware of
the difference between monogamy and his own life of semi-random hook-ups,
and he's a little jealous of Michael and Joanna's lifelong devotion to
each other. Unhappily un-mated, Andy knows all about the bubbling "something"
that is going on at work between Michael and Laura, and he's deeply unhappy
about it. A chronic self-doubter who manages to look miserable at Stuart's
party, he accompanies Michael and Laura to the business meeting in New
Mexico, and grows quietly horrified when he realizes that Michael is planning
to decimate his marriage, and that Andy will be a forced third-party witness.

Moverman, Peter Woodward. Contract: Union. Shoot Dates: October, 2008 (7
weeks shoot in Michigan). STORY: When a Muslim American claims to
have planted three nuclear bombs in everal American cities, he is taken
to an undisclosed location and "interrogated" by a rofessional torturer,
amid a host of military and intelligence gency observers. FBI Agent Brody,
brought in to interrogate as well, is appalled and disgusted by H's tactics,
believing torture unconstitutional, unethical and ineffective. However,
as time goes on and the bombs tick down to their detonation with no info
coming from the suspect, Brody is faced with a moral dilemma: is the torture
and death of individuals justified in the attempt to save millions of lives.
Breakdown-- FBI Agent Helen Brody: 30s-Mid 40s, intelligent,
intuitive, sharp and efficient, not without humor or compassion but tough
and seasoned, Brody is an FBI agent in charge of a small crew that keeps
tabs on suspected terrorist organizations with Muslim ties. Brody is brought
in to help with the interrogation when an American Muslim man claims to
have set three nuclear bombs in three American cities, slated to go off
unless his demands are met. Appalled to learn that she must work in tandem
with H, a professional torturer, Brody speaks out, believing that not only
is it wrong, but that it just plain doesn't work. A capable and crafty
interrogator herself, Brody is helpless to change the course of the brutal
interrogation when it becomes clear that the suspect is fully prepared
to die for his beliefs; however, when the authorities above her, in last
minute desperation, bring in the suspect's two children for H to "work
on," Brody is faced with an unthinkable dilemma: are the lives of two children
in the room with you worth more than the lives of millions of men, women
and children who will die if the right information isn't forthcoming. STAR
NAMES ONLY. Lead; William Arthur Younger, aka Yusuf Atta Mohammed:
Late 20s-Late 30s, appears Caucasian. Born in Pakistan to an American father
and Pakistani mother. Younger is an ex CIA military scientist/specialist
in field nuclear weapons who served in Iraq checking out nukes, and was
generally considered a grade A guy. Now a devout Muslim, whose ex-wife
got custody of their children after his efforts to take them back to Pakistan,
Younger has announced that he has set up nuclear bombs in three American
cities, and it's clear he has the know-how and means to make it happen.
Readily making himself available to the authorities, who bring him to an
undisclosed location to interrogate him, Younger wants his demands met
(complete pull out of American troops and end of American puppet regimes
in Islamic nations) but he is completely prepared, through his training
and sheer will power, to withstand extreme interrogation in his refusal
to divulge the bombs' location till his demands are met. Tortured to within
an inch of his life, Younger is finally forced to acknowledge the one weak
spot in his life. Lead; Vincent: A senior FBI agent, graying,
a little overweight, Vincent is a member of Agent Brody's anti-terrorist
team and clearly works well with her and the group. Courageous, seasoned,
pragmatic, he's furious that the CIA didn't share enough of their information
with the FBI so that they could have cracked this case before it got out
of hand. Along with his colleagues Jackson and Leandro, Vincent works non-stop
to check out any clues that might lead to the discovery of Younger's accomplices
or the locations of the bombs. Lead; Deput Director Saunders:
53, a big man, grim and serious. FBI Deputy Director Saunders is Brody's
superior, who alerts Brody and her team to the current crisis that will
require all their resources and attention. Angry at the way his team is
being manipulated by the military, Saunders insists on Brody being allowed
to interrogate the prisoner, William Younger, who's admitted to hiding
nuclear bombs in three cities unless his demands are met. Though he appears
to have sufficient respect for Brody, he is unmoved by her pleas that the
torture of the suspect is unconstitutional and useless, and orders her
to stand by to do her job during H's breaks. Lead; Charlie Thomas:
Slick hair, bad teeth, ruthless, practical, an agent with the Defense Intelligence
Agency. Charlie is H's handler, and is in constant contact with him while
providing H and his family with round-the-clock protection. Springing into
action when H's file is accidentally sent to Brody's office, Charlie categorizes
H (correctly) as an extremely dangerous man--whose professional presence
is required for the interrogation of William Younger, who claims to have
planted three nuclear bombs somewhere in the United States. On hand for
the entire disturbing interrogation/torture of Younger, Charlie is not
bothered by finer points of ethics, morals or the Constitution; his job
is to provide support to H in his brutal efforts to find out where the
bombs are, and he's fully prepared to stop at nothing to save American
lives. Lead; Eve Zachary: 45, an elegant woman, intelligent,
ruthless. Zachary is CIA and as another handler of H, she's furious that
he fell through the cracks and wound up on FBI Agent Brody's list of people
to bring in during the present crisis. Unfazed by H's methods, Zachary
is contemptuous of Brody's finer concerns re: the efficacy and Constitutionality
of torture, and has a clear view of the bottom line. At one point, Zachary
catches Brody in a contradiction: "You've become just like us. 'That's
terrible,' we say,' but does it work?'" Lead; General Gunter:
50s, tall, a two star general, Gunter is in charge of the military end
of the operation to interrogate William Younger, and rolls right over Brody's
surprise at the military's intervention in an area they typically have
no jurisdiction over. Promising her any support that she needs, but announcing
that no one is to leave, Gunter is disgusted by her initial attempts to
get information from Younger but acknowledges that H likes to have her
as the good cop. As the interrogation proceeds, Gunter seriously considers
the possibility that the whole damn thing is a hoax. Lead; Colones
Kerkmejian: 45, ramrod straight. Colonel Kerkmejian is with Military
Intelligence, and describes to Agent Brody the conditions under which William
Younger is being held, observed and interrogated. Kerkmejian is appalled
at H's extreme techniques on the suspect and clearly doesn't want to authorize
them--though he seems inclined to take Zachary's suggestion that he let
it happen without his authorization, and thus gets himself off the hook.
Eventually, Kerkmejian watches in disbelief as the whole interrogation
devolves into chaos. Lead; Bradley: An older man in an expensive
suit, cold, ruthless. Bradley seems to outrank all the other military in
the interrogation room and speaks with authority on behalf of letting H
have whatever and whoever he needs. An agent of some kind, not military
any more, Bradley was a GI in some of the worst wars with some of the most
heinous crimes against humanity, and has to admit to H that his "performance"
in Bosnia was the worst he'd ever seen. Notwithstanding this--or more likely
because of this--Bradley now gives H free rein to "interrogate" the subject
in any way he sees fit as the time winds down on the three nuclear bombs
set to detonate imminently. Lead; Phillips: This young, fairly
new FBI agent is part of Brody's anti-terrorist team and approaches his
work with tireless vigor, sometimes going a bit overboard in his zeal.
Bravely setting off on a dangerous mission to pick up H unaided, Phillips
winds up bound and gagged inside H's house, though he emerges unharmed.
Along with his colleagues Vincent, Jackson and Leandro, Phillips works
on finding anything to link Younger with the bombs he's planted; Leandro:
Hispanic, bullish. Leandro is another member of Brody's FBI anti-terrorist
team. Along with his colleagues, Jackson, Vincent and Phillips, Leandro
is brought in to find any new info on where Younger may have planted the
nuclear bombs, and he shares his colleagues moments of frustration and
hours of hard work; Deejay Jackson: Caucasian, slim and cool.
Jackson is another member of Brody's FBI anti-terrorist team. Assigned
to work with his colleagues on tracking down any information that can lead
to the discovery of the nuclear bombs Younger has planted, Jackson shares
brainstorming sessions and frustration with his fellow team members; Rina:
Late 30s, Eastern European. Rina is H's wife, and the loving, concerned
mother of their two children. Efficient, pragmatic, on the surface a fairly
average Americanized woman, Rina lives with her husband and kids in a heavily
guarded house, the legacy of the fact that her husband is a wanted man
in Bosnia who's currently in the witness protection program. She visits
H during his interrogation of William Younger, bringing him a picnic dinner
and a nice respite from his work. A victim of terrible violence herself
in her native Bosnia--for which she exacted her due measure of vengeance--Rina
not only knows and approves of her husband's profession, she is his usual
assistant; Sutton: A man in a dark suit with shades and an
earbud. Sutton greets Brody and her team at the undisclosed location where
the interrogation of the suspect will take place, and he gets in her face
when she refuses to give up her weapon. He's on hand for the whole investigation,
but becomes scared when it devolves into chaos; Lubitchich:
6'4", dressed in fatigues. Lubitchich is one of the observers witnessing
the interrogation of Younger, and he's horrified by the sight of H, apparently
familiar with his tactics. On hand for the whole interrogation, Lubitchich
eventually concedes that there's no more H can do, since Younger is obviously
close to death, but he watches in disbelief as H shows that he has one
more trick up his sleeve; Winston: This MP is kept on throughout
the interrogation/torture of Younger and though he clearly doesn't relish
it, he does what he's told. He later covers up his nametag, telling Agent
Brody, "I don't want anyone here to know my name. What he's doing in there,
is it right?"; Alvarez: This man assists H in his torture
of Younger, setting up the devices and coming in afterwards to clean up.
Though he goes about his work silently for the most part, he ultimately
speaks up when H crosses the line; Jehan Younger: Mid-Late
20's, a full figured red-head. Younger's ex-wife, the mother of their two
children, she's brought in to the interrogation, but she's more hysterical
about her missing children than any danger she herself is in. Alternating
between being aggressive and vulnerable, Jehan quickly understands that
she is a pawn in the attempt to get information from her husband--information
that she, too, may fully know; Katie: 7. She is H and Rina's
daughter, older sister to 5 years old Peter. Bright and appealing, Katie's
a typical kid with loving, attentive parents; Peter: 5.
He is H and Rina's son, younger brother to Katie. A fun, bright little
boy, he is seen bouncing on his father's stomach and later being read to
by his dad. He is clearly an average kid with loving parents; TV
News Announcer CNN: This CNN news announcer seen on TV reports
on the latest news, including the late breaking story on Younger; TV
Host, ESPN: This TV host on ESPN takes a break from sports to report
on the escalating William Younger story; Orden: This interrogator
questions a naked Younger while Younger is sprayed with old water and cold
air fans blow on him. Orden is furious at the arrival of H, whose reputation
preceeds him and calls him an animal, after which H beats the crap out
of him in full view of the prisoner; Major Berman: This Army
major meets Agent Brody at the location specified by Younger to prove that
his threats are not a hoax. On a warehouse roof, Berman and Brody find
a photo of Younger with a phone number on it and Berman dials it--only
to find a second later that his call detonated a bomb in a nearby mall;
Samura
& Ali: These two kids (girl and boy respectively) are Younger's
children who are brought in as a last desperate measure to get their father
to admit the location of the nuclear bombs. They are crying and confused
as they are taken into an interrogation room and strapped down to two gurneys.

he's living a total lie. Later, he's surprised and relieved when Jenn confronts
him about his homosexuality. (Posted: July 17, 2008. Revised: August 25,

and teaches him how to juggle. After going to bed with Toby, Celia warns

accident, an abandoned, but extraordinary boy named Edgar Mint ventures
out on an epic journey bursting with heartache and hilarity to find a home
and ultimately a family. Breakdown-- Edgar Mint: Age range
10-13. Observant, intelligent, optimistic, half-Caucasian half-Native American,
this 12 year old boy was run over by a mail truck at age 7 and has spent
almost 5 years in a coma. He amazingly comes out of it with no apparent
muscular degeneration and is subsequently heralded as a "miracle boy."
Yearning to be reunited with his alcoholic mother, Edgar bonds with the
men on his hospital ward, but must leave his new friends to attend an Indian
school with people of his own "kind." There, he befriends Cecil, an Apache
boy who teaches him some of the ways of their people. When Cecil is sent
away to a reformatory, Edgar takes a tall dive off a steep cliff -- only
to, once again, miraculously survive. Taken in by a devout Mormon family,
Edgar believes that he has found a safe haven -- but his new family life
soon painfully unravels. Stalked by the eccentric Barry, the doctor who
saved his life years ago, Edgar embarks on a mission of forgiveness, ceaselessly
seeking the mailman who ran him over so long ago. Ultimately, Edgar finds
the peace and stability he craves -- but it's a long and hazardous journey
for this young, resilient survivor. Note: Looking for a very special,
wonderful boy who is wise beyond his years. Seeking performers who either
have some Native ancestry and also performers who do not, but look like
they may have some kind of mixed heritage. A Caucasian look is ok if not
fair hair. Newcomers welcome. Lead; Cecil: Age range
14-16. This husky 16 years old, quiet but intense, Apache boy with braces
on his legs meets Edgar in the hospital, and is sent with him to the Indian
school. There, both are immediately beset by a gang of repugnant bullies,
headed by the sadistic Nelson. Cecil bonds closely with Edgar and teaches
him some of the ways of their people. Deceptively impassive, but actually
deeply sensitive, he is later assaulted by Nelson, and plots a fitting
yet brutal revenge that separates him from Edgar and lands him in reform
school. Lead. (Posted: August 18, 2008)

stay alive. STAR NAMES ONLY. SERIES REGULAR;Tamara Jon: 20-25,
all ethnicities (Asian Preferably). SGC Field medic, Captain grade. Off
world experience. Beautiful, tough, smart, capable. Paramedic level training.
Able to triage serious injury. Modest background. Dreamed of being a doctor
but couldn't afford medical school and the Air Force was her best option.
She ends up being the most medically inclined person on the ship but is

slacker. Utter genius. Mathematics, computers, anything he puts his mind

thrown in. SERIES REGULAR; Lt. Jared Nash: 20-25. Junior
SGC team member. Officer material but green and rough around the edges.
Every teenage girl's fantasy. Like a college quarterback thrown into his

for the responsibility and must learn to take command, earn respect through
action, and manage the diverse personalities on the ship to keep everyone
alive. Like Jason Bourne, he is skilled and well-trained however he is
mentally unprepared for the urgency of the situation. SERIES REGULAR;Ron
"Psycho" Stasiak: 20, all ethnicities. Marine. Big, strong, silent.
You want him on your side. You don't want him mad at you. Lacks control
over his temper in non combat situations. His past is a mystery but it's
clear something dark formed the hard shell around him. Yet, there must
also be some moral center because otherwise he'd kill everyone around him.

been reading everybody's mail on the sly, sends the upstanding citizens
of a small Iowa farming community on a frantic hunt to find the dead man's
diary, which contains a laundry list of their various guilty secrets. Breakdown--
Ned:
This laid back, seemingly simple Iowa farmer seems like a bit of a country
bumpkin, but in this case, appearances are very deceptive. In actuality,
Ned has a sharp and inquiring mind which he hones by reading the classics.
Happily married, Ned is a true-blue straight arrow who sees through the
hypocrisy of the town leaders. When an apparent murder rattles the town,
Ned watches the frantic machinations of his fellow townsfolk with amusement,
but when they try to set him up as a prime suspect, he sets out to give
them a taste of their own medicine. Lead; Ed: Ned's brother.
He's a salt-of-the-earth farmer who isn't exactly the sharpest knife in
the drawer. However, he is a good and loyal individual whose biggest beef
to date is the fact that Ned favors scientific fertilizers to good old
cow manure. A shy man, Ed is thrilled when a corpulent local townswoman
starts dating him. He's largely oblivious to the controversy raging around
town -- but he has Ned's back when the chips are down. Lead; Lester
Anderson: The local pastor and acting mayor. He's a tall, self-righteous,
overbearingly sanctimonious man in his mid 40s who loves the sound of his
own voice. Married to a woman he can barely stand, Lester has been carrying
on an affair with a local teen beauty. When the local postman dies, leaving
behind a diary that supposedly contains the guilty secrets of the town
leaders, Lester frantically sets out to find the diary. However, he's not
the only one involved in the frantic search, which triggers quite a stampede
among the various town leaders, all of whom have something to hide. Lead;
Walt
Heimerman: The 50ish town pharmacist. He's a domineering man with
an exaggerated sense of his own intelligence. Walt also has his share of
guilty secrets, not the least of which is that he has been peddling tainted
and illegal drugs to his unsuspecting customers. Fearing exposure, he also
sets out to find the dead man's missing diary -- but it's quite a race
to the finish. Lead; Lou Mildebrant: The rather plump and
simple-minded local grocer. He's the father of the local high school football
star. Also one of the town leaders, Lou has been switching labels on his
canned goods, passing off dog food as people food for years. And that's
just one of his guilty secrets. Like his rivals, Lester and Walt, he goes
on a frantic hunt for the dead man's compromising diary -- but whether
he'll find the book in time to save his reputation is an open question.
Lead; Hank Underbakke: A middle-Aged man with the look of
a former quarterback. He was the biggest football hero the town has ever
known, and is still quite a hot ticket with the local ladies. Now a local
hardware store owner, Hank is miffed because it looks as if Lou's son will
break all his old records. An egotistical sort, he also has his share of
shameful secrets and he's determined to root out the missing diary before
his dirty laundry is aired before the whole town. Lead; Vern:
This black-clad Vietnam vet owns the local gas station, where he routinely
overcharges and short-changes his customers. A real anti-government conspiracy
nut, he's not thrilled when the authorities start investigating the suspicious
death of the local postman, who was apparently reading everybody's personal
mail. Vern has a few secrets himself, and he's determined to make sure
that they don't leak out, not if he can help it. Lead; Alice:
A plump, warm and kindly woman. She's Ned's wife, who shares a very loving
bond with her husband. Currently on a diet, Alice has been taking some
diet pills that have been making her even more ravenous than ever. She's
unaware that Walt, the local pharmacist, has pulled a bait and switch and
sold her tainted drugs not fit for human consumption. Lead. (Posted: August

Breakdown-- Aang: 12-15, Male, Caucasian or any other ethnicity.
We are looking for a young man to play the lead role in a motion picture
franchise. He must be athletic and graceful with an ability in Martial
Arts (not necessarily extensive experience, but at least an aptitude for
it). Kids with experience in gymnastics, dance, or sports could also be
good. He is a young adventurer and should seem like the type of young man
who will grow up to be heroic; Katara: 14-17, Female, Caucasian
or any other ethnicity. She is Sokka's younger sister. She is a headstrong
and determined girl with a real sense of idealism. She believes in herself
and feels that she can play on the same team as the boys. She is beautiful,
intelligent, passionate, feisty, and has a real sense of adventure; Sokka:
16-20, Male, Caucasian or any other ethnicity. He is Katara's older brother.
He is intelligent but awkward, and very funny (although not necessarily
intentionally so). He aspires to greatness, but he tends to doubt himself.
He is always one to be swayed by a pretty girl; Zuko: 16-20,
Male, Caucasian or any other ethnicity. He is a brooding, intense young
man who wrestles - not always successfully - with being good. Regaining
his honor is a driving impetus for him. He is extremely handsome and is
the type of dangerous boy every girl falls in love with. Athletic and/or
martial arts experience is a plus. Note: IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE
DATE OF BIRTH BE INCLUDED FOR ALL ACTORS UNDER THE AGE OF 18. (Posted:
