BREAKDOWN
LOU ZIEGLER
Around 60. White. Raina’s father. A recovered alcoholic with a long list of amends yet to be made, including neglectful parenting, womanizing and falling short too many times. He’s let a lot of people down including his estranged daughter, but he currently needs her kidney to save his life and must reconnect with her to get it. He doesn’t want to die. Charismatic, charming and anti-sentimental, with a wry sense of humor that yanks people’s chains, he’s hard to say no to. His directness, humor and gruffness hide a very complicated interior. His daughter’s forgiveness would mean a lot to him. He owns a carpentry/home restoration business that reveals him to be a very artistic and thoughtful craftsman.
RAINA LAMOTT
Around 30. White. Lou’s daughter. A bright, feisty, determined yet vulnerable, single mother raising a 4 year old daughter, she is trying very hard to be the parent she wished she had. She has been disappointed too many times by her dad. She is striving to act like a mindful grownup, but her inner child is angry and resentful and having a hard time with forgiveness and determining if her father is “kidney worthy”. She has many of the personality traits of an adult child of an alcoholic. Uncomfortable with her vulnerability, she tends to over think things to avoid making the wrong decision. She ultimately wishes to be deeply seen by and connected to her dad.
JARRELL HAYES
Late 20s. African-American. Marlene’s son. (This actor doubles as HECTOR.) Friendly, outgoing, charming, he is a Princeton graduate with an intelligent and wry sense of humor. Levelheaded and observant, he was raised by a very strong and centered mother, but he’s learned how to survive without a father. He is an artist attempting to launch his career. He doubles as Hector, a hospital nurse with a Dominican accent.
MARLENE HAYES
Around 50. African-American. Jarrell’s mother. (This actress also doubles as DR. BADU and BARISTA.)Jarrell’s mother is a practical, grounded, deeply wise woman with a sense of humor and a big heart. She’s nobody’s fool. She has survived a very difficult past to become a remarkable person who has the ability to help others put their lives in perspective. Doubles as Dr. Badu (an intelligent and perceptive African doctor treating Lou – African dialect needed), and a passive aggressive coffee barista.
