The Female Bystander: Female | Age: 25 - 35
The Female Bystander is very attractive with a New York accent but her beauty pales in comparison to the fear in her eyes. As she recounts to Sarah Coates, news journalist the terrifying scene of a furniture store owners’ death, she explains how she first heard men screaming outside her window, followed by the deafening sound of loud gunshots. Her voice trembles, barely holding it together as she speaks. Her hands fidget nervously, betraying the horror she's trying to mask. How to Play the Role: The actress should speak with shaky, wavering voice. The actress should deliver the lines slight rapidly, her breath quick and shallow as if she's reliving the shock. Her eyes should dot around nervously, unable to settle. She should have an anxious energy, almost as she's trying to escape the memory, her expression showing disbelief and panic.
The Female Neighbor: Female | Age: 45 - 55
The Female Neighbor is a middle-aged woman with a heavy New York accent, her face pale and drawn, with wide, startled eyes that speak of the trauma she just witnessed as she speaks to a reporter. Dressed in simple, everyday clothes, she clearly still in shock, her hands trembling as she speaks. Her voice quivers with fear as she recounts the horrific scene, and the vivid memories of what she has just witnessed. How to Play the Role: The actress should portray a mix of shock and vulnerability, with her body language tense and shaky. Her voice should crack with emotion, particularly when describing the violent scene. She should maintain a sense of unease, visibly unsettled, as if the memory is too much to fully process, with occasional pauses to collect herself.
The Jogger: Female | Age: 28 - 35
The Jogger moved with effortless grace, her sleek athletic wear hugging her toned frame as she navigated through the woods. She carries an air of elegance with her ponytail bouncing with each step. She slows, her pulse quickening as she spotted something half buried in the dirt. A sick feeling crept into her stomach. Trembling, she reached for her phone and dialed 911, a voice unsteady with fear. How to Play the Role: The actor playing The Jogger should move with confidence and poise, maintaining an air of elegance. Her expressions should shift subtly from focus to growing unease as she notices something unusual. When she dials 911, her voice should waver slightly, her breath quickening, conveying the shock and urgency without overreacting.
The Waiter Killer : Male | Age: 30 - 40
The waiter killer silently moves through the restaurant, his posture rigid, his eyes cold and focused. Tall and lean, he blends in with the other staff, but there's no mistaking the lethal intent in his every step. His expression is neutral, unreadable, as he approaches Fat Man Alonzo's table. Ready to carry out a mission to kill him. How to Play the Role: The actor should play the role with a chilling stillness, conveying a sense of quiet menace through subtle body language. His eyes should reflect cold focus, with no words or gestures—just a quiet, unsettling presence that builds tension, revealing his deadly intent without a single action out of place.
TV Journalist : | Age: 25 - 55
15 attractive TV Journalist needed to play the part of serious TV journalists renowned for their tenacity and commitment covering the truth.

Vito Labroskie’s 6 Henchman: Male | Age: 30 - 55
6 henchmen, stripped to their underwear, their hands and feet hogtied, squirmed on the cold ground as the deafening roar of a killing machine swallowed the night. Their faces, pale and slick with sweat, contorted in sheer horror, their eyes darting between the monstrous machine and the executioners who stood motionless, indifferent to their suffering. Please! I have family” one wailed, his voice cracking as he's thrashed against the restraints. Another sobbed, his body trembling as he's whispered desperate prayers, his breath coming in short, panicked gasps. The others screamed, their voices a frenzied chorus of terror, but mercy would not come. 1 by 1, they were dragged forward, their struggles growing more frantic. Leaving only the silence in the execution is wake.
