CHARLES WILSON
Can play the role of Male, 47, the type who doesn't like crowds and "reads a lot of Tolkein," he is another lawyer assigned to Tony's case and will be handling the civil side of things. Ever the rule abider, Wilson can be a bit of a nervous nelly. Probably the last person to be picked in a dodgeball game. CAUCASIAN
BILL HALL
Can play the role of Male, 43, the first born of a real estate magnate, and strangely evasive, he doesn't seem to grasp the severity of the situation when asked by the news media about the drafting of an apology by his real estate company. Even the fact that his own brother is being held hostage by an armed man does not have any impact on his responses. He's not a man to be rushed. CAUCASIAN
EFFIE
Can play the role of Female, 60, arthritic, seen with a walker, she is Tony's sister who lives alone in a trailer park. Reclusive and not sociable, she finally opens up to Ginny about how her brother scammed her out of her money. Effie is formidable in her own right.

A.D.A. MARTZ
Can play the role of Male, 40s, this A.D.A. gets verbally combative with Ruckelshaus regarding his defence of allegedly corrupt cops. He's the Penn of Penn & Teller. Voluble and combative in contrast to the always quiet Rimstadt (Teller). CAUCASIAN

M.L. HALL
Can play the role of Male, he is Dick's father, owner of Meridian Mortgage. Gravelly-voiced, careful with his words, dismissive of the fact that his son is being held hostage, he makes it very clear that he will not be apologizing. Ever. Taciturn. Steely. Runs the family with an iron fist. CAUCASIAN
PEARL

Margaret
This character walks with a cane. Sensitive, perceptive, and emotionally vulnerable. She’s deeply frustrated with her husband Alan's emotional distance and obsession with work, but she’s also persistent in trying to connect with him. She values intimacy and honesty in her marriage, which makes his neglect and betrayal cut deeply.
Alan
Defensive, distracted, emotionally withdrawn. He’s more committed to his career and an affair than his marriage, which makes him evasive and dismissive toward his wife, Margaret. He avoids confrontation until pressured, then lashes out with brutal honesty initiating a divorce.
Gas Station Person
The Gas Station Person is gentle, helpful, comforting. He represents safety and normalcy.
Lead Cultist
The Lead Cultist is calm, controlled, sadistic. Speaks only in whispers, heightening their menace. Their power lies in psychological manipulation, forcing Alan into an impossible moral dilemma.

Dorothy
Dorothy is a very charismatic, attentive young woman. She lives a simple life on her own, emerging herself into many hobbies and interests to fill in the great amount of free time she has. Dorothy took a liking to gardening after discovering her infertility, using it as an outlet to nurture and care. She roams the town of Brimsgy with a witty glow and the sweetest smile, and has the ability to comfort and soften just about anyone. Her smile is contagious, and her bubbly personality helps push herself through low moments.
Judy
Judy is the definition of tough love. Raised by a boarding school principle, she’s inherited a need for perfection and order, especially from her daughter, Lila. Judy has the utmost highest standards for herself and needs to be #1 for everything. Her rigged and harsh personality deflects many if a fake smile isn’t plastered onto her face. She cares deeply, but lacks the softness to communicate that.
Lila
Lila, Judy’s daughter, is one of the most imaginative little girls. Her brain is filled with colour and possibilities, but is constantly muted by her mother’s expectations. She wants nothing more than to play, dance, and laugh, often finding sneaky ways to do so. Lila wants to make her mother proud, but the goals she’s given are often unachievable, leaving her feeling like a failure most of the time. She buries this feeling and finds hope within other outlets, such as her friendship with her neighbour, Dorothy.
