Breakdown
RUTHIE: The matriarch of the family. She’s bossy, authoritative, means well but tries to steer the world more than is humanly possible. She needleseach of her children and even her husband, JIMMY to an extent but bottom line, truly loves them all.
JIMMY: Our patriarch. He loves everyone…a go-with-the flow sort. Easy going, desperately in love with his kids and wife.
RICHARD: Eldest son. Mid-to late 20s as we start. Wants to conquer the world. Not a plugger, more of an entrepreneur. He buys the latest everything and dresses “up to the second” stylish. He’s a good guy but has perhaps seen too many movies of how men behave rather than behaving as he would. A one-time football hero, he misses that kind of spotlight.
MADDIE: Second child. Mid-20 sat the top. An aspiring actress. Strong willed person who loves her family. Of all the kids, she’s the only one to have moved away from her hometown. Lives in NY and struggles with the artist’s life. She and her mother have a difficult relationship.
THOMAS: Son two, the baby of the family and the “good” son. A nice, even-tempered guy, in the style of his father, who thought his life was on a plan. A devoutly religious man studying for the priesthood at the beginning, he’s nonetheless funny, warm and not at all rigid in his approach to life. He means very well but like everyone has his life turnout differently than he planned.
