Seeking:
Morrie Schwartz:
65-75, a charming, fiercely intelligent man suffering from ALS, has an innate benevolence and altruistic nature. He wears his heart on his sleeve not out of naivete but as a result of challenging life experiences. He is a composed man, while open, loving and unprejudiced. He is a discerning man and is thoughtful and kind, but has a sharp and incisive view of the world and how people work.
Mitch:
33-40. An amicable and aggressive man approaching middle age who has been led by fear most of his adult life and is approaching a place of transformation. A professional sportswriter, he knows how to get what he needs when he needs it. Like Morrie he has an innate benevolence and altruism.

He must be able to play the piano.
