Cast Roles for “No Checkout” – Multiple Characters
Job Description
A new narrative film is seeking actors to bring a range of emotionally complex characters to life. Each role requires strong dramatic presence, the ability to convey layered internal conflict, and a commitment to authentic storytelling. This project features intense interpersonal dynamics, unresolved tension, and emotionally charged moments.
Alicia — Lead (Late 20s)
Smart, observant, and emotionally guarded. Alicia carries guilt and tension beneath a calm exterior. She requires an actress capable of subtle emotional shifts and deep, internalized performance work.
Tasha — Lead (Mid-20s)
Warm, nurturing, and calm on the surface, yet hiding guilt and unresolved issues. She is vulnerable and breakable under pressure. This role calls for emotional transparency and quiet strength.
Derrick — Supporting (Early 30s)
Likeable, funny, and the person who lightens the mood—until things get serious. Derrick has charm but can crack when the stakes rise. Ideal for an actor with range from comedic warmth to emotional intensity.
Marc — Supporting (Late 30s)
Intense, paranoid, and always on edge. Marc is distrustful, uneasy, and explosive when pushed. This role needs someone with strong dramatic instincts who can portray anxiety and volatility convincingly.
