ROBERT CLARKE

Supporting/Cameo Role | Male | 30s–40s

The Persona: The missed heartbeat of the Clark family. In 1966, Henry is the picture of mid-century paternal warmth and stability. He is the "anchor" that holds Jenna together and the "ideal" that Harry feels he can never quite live up to. He represents a version of the family that was once whole, happy, and vibrant.

Physicality/Skills: Must be a confident "slow dancer." He needs to carry himself with a natural, easy-going authority and a gentle charm.

Encouraging: He communicates through small, meaningful gestures—a nod, a smile, a lead on the dance floor.

Pivotal: Though he only appears in memories or flashbacks, his presence must be felt in every scene he appears in. This
