Include your headshot, resume, links to any youtube vids, IMDB profile, if any, & tell us which character for which you’d like to audition (up to 3 attempts per actor as follows):

MAIN Roles:

EMILY: late 20’s to early 30’s, a quirky, accident-prone cartoonist who is filthy rich and famous, but prefers life as a hermit in her luxury beachside apartment, where all the elderly residents treat her as their favourite grand-daughter, and she cares for them as if they’re family too. 

MARTY: late 20’s to late 30’s, is Emily’s new mysterious neighbour; a young surgeon whose life and career has been destroyed by 3 evil ex-girlfriends. He’s a tortured soul, now working as a mortician, when he finds joy in life again through Emily. [Advantage if actor can ride a horse.]

DR DEATH: late 30’s to 60’s. Senior medical officer & Marty’s mentor and friend. Must be able to morph from friendly to sinister and back again. 

2 Detectives: MOZER is big, brauny and may look dumb occasionally, but makes up for it by being extremely efficient with clues and paperwork & “Slimy” Symes, who is smaller, skinnier, and looks as if he’s been undercover in the underbelly too long. Both dedicated and extremely good, but SYMES has the brains and instincts.

MINOR Roles:

3 Evil Ex-Girlfriends	All classy red-heads, seemingly identical aside from their hair-length, yet they’re also 3 completely different species of psycho who went to school together. As a trio, they’re not only friends, they’re a pack of wicked vixens who feed on the hearts and wallets of nice men until they’re totally ruined. It’s a game for them, and they’re specialists; * Donna Prophet is a social maggot and “investor” in men. [short hair] * Goldie Chaney is a jewelry sales assistant [shoulder length hair] * Faith Hope Harmony... is anything BUT. She's a pro cheerleader with a taste for doctors who tend to her injured players. [long hair]
Old Mrs Mona Manners (speaking) Victor Gardna, the Gardener (minor speaking)	: Has a stuffed dog on wheels & stuffed parrot who used to be pets. Is in a wheelchair whenever we see her, but only so she can keep up to them on her walks. Should be in a retirement home, but she’s far too determined to have her own way and stay independent. : Grumpy old man who tends garden around their Emily's luxury beachside apartment. He hates palm trees [loudly] and loves flowers [secretly]. So yes, he's also a secret romantic.
Old Knitting Lady Bookie (minor speaking)	: Keeps a ball of wool down her cleavage, inside of which is her betting book.
Dirty Old Man (minor speaking)	:  Is a huge fan of Emily’s cartoon strips, and pleads for her signature (on his body) every time he sees her - or at least tries to.  And never washes them off, so he’s literally dirty, in addition to his silent pleas to sign his butt at least once.
At Hospital
Nurse (non-speaking,  but expressions can kill)	: Female (because there’s already 3 men in the room with Emily). She’s a diligent shadow lurker, who loves patients and hates doctors. No speaking lines, but has the potential to steal scenes if the actress can say a lot through subtle expressions and nail a few glares that threaten Dr Death with her own version of death at just the right moment.
Other Locations
2 Male Skiers (non-speaking)	: a pair of friends of similar age between 20 and 40. Must look fit and ready to defend themselves.
Ski hire guy (1 line)	: needs to react comically when he offers to help Emily get up from her embarrassing accident, and gets “NO” shouted at him by both Emily & Marty before he can see her naked.
Note: We'll also be taking expressions of interest in various non-speaking roles:
