THE GENERAL – Male. Mid 40s to mid 50s. Vietnamese. Head of the South Vietnamese Secret Police, a Christian and an epicure (though not necessarily in that order). Paranoid, hen-pecked and proud to an almost ludicrous degree, he is an ardent believer in the American Dream and, if cornered, a dangerous patriot. Perfect posture. A leader of men. Can be dangerous, but there’s a pathetic side to him as well. A bit of a Napoleon complex. Must speak fluent Vietnamese (Southern dialect). Must speak English (but doesn’t have to be perfect). SERIES LEAD. MULTI-YEAR DEAL. SOME NUDITY REQUIRED.
BON – Male. Late 20s to early 30s. Vietnamese. A devoted friend, husband and father. His closest friend is the captain. A born soldier, a nationalist, a fearless fighter and, if necessary, a killer, but at the same time, sentimental. He has a wholesome love of violence. Should look physically strong. Not traditionally handsome. A face with lots of character. Gets into fights. Training in kung fu or taekwondo a plus. Must speak fluent Vietnamese (Southern dialect). Must speak some English (but not perfect). SERIES LEAD. MULTI-YEAR DEAL. NUDITY REQUIRED.
MAN – Male. 30s to early 40s. Vietnamese. An effortless leader, who acts like a big brother to the Captain, and also as his handler for the Communists. He is protective and compassionate, an idealist, but also an ideologue with a dangerous zealous streak. Self-disciplined. A dentist by trade. Must speak fluent Vietnamese. No English is required. SERIES LEAD. MULTI-YEAR DEAL.
LANA – Female. 18 – early 20s. Vietnamese. The General’s eldest daughter. Forced immigration from Vietnam accelerates her rapid maturation from sulky teen to seductive songstress. She’s salty, she speaks her mind, and she’s pragmatic. She embraces the promise of her new country and its evolving liberal morality. Must speak flawless English (as she wants to pass as American). Ability to sing is a plus. Dancing skills are a plus. SERIES LEAD. MULTI-YEAR DEAL. NUDITY, SEXUAL SITUATIONS, AND SIMULATION REQUIRED.
