Casting directors are looking for Caucasian kids to play the lead roles of Rafe and Leo. Rafe is described with having “tousled hair and deep brown eyes, Rafe is a fantastic kid, a creative non-conformist who has a hard time playing by the rules – especially when the rules are ridiculous. Much to the dismay of his mom, he’s been kicked out of two schools in the past year and half. Despite that, Rafe is an incredibly talented, imaginative artist who’s smart, clever, funny, warm and enromously likeable. Arriving on the steps of number one rated Hills Village Middle School, he discovers that the school principal is a tyrannical nutcase who runs the school as if it’s a totalitarian state. When the principal destroys his beloved artist’s sketch book, Rafe decides to fight back. He sets out to break every rule in the middle school rulebook. With the help of Leo, Rafe sets out on a wild adventure – and exposes the Principal for the crook he really is.
Leo is described as a 11 to 13 year old that is Energetic and mischievious. “Leo is Rafe’s very best friend and vice-versa. Leo and Rafe go way back as partners in crime, and they share wonderful memories. Leo is an instigator; he urges Rafe to break the rules, Leo has the self-confidence that Rafe is lacking. Smart, funny, likeable, he helps Rafe break ever yrule in the middle school rule book – and they’re the perfect team. Leo should have a big physical presence.
