Roles Details

Title
Quin
Content
Male | Lead | Preference to POC | Playing Age: 20–28 QUINN carries a quiet sensitivity beneath an effortless, slightly guarded exterior. He feels at home wandering galleries, record stores, subway platforms and late-night city streets, someone observant enough to notice the little things around him but perhaps not always bold enough to act on them. When PORTER unexpectedly asks him for a cigarette outside an art gallery, their brief interaction catches him completely off guard. There is an immediate spark, but before he can do anything about it, she is pulled away. What begins as curiosity slowly transforms into a genuine need to find her again. QUINN shouldn't feel like the archetypal romantic lead who knows exactly what to say. His charm comes from sincerity, vulnerability and the sense that he is surprised by the intensity of his own feelings. Throughout the night, we watch him move from introspective and slightly restrained to increasingly impulsive as the strange pull between himself and PORTER becomes impossible to ignore. By the final act, he's sprinting through the city following something he can't entirely explain, driven by instinct rather than certainty. For casting: We are looking for someone with strong natural screen presence and expressive eyes who can communicate a great deal without dialogue. The performance should feel intimate, restrained and emotionally honest rather than theatrical. QUINN needs to be believable both in small observational moments and in the increasingly physical urgency of the final sequence. A face that feels distinctive rather than traditionally polished is welcome. Chemistry with PORTER is essential. [2]
