He has at least one skill: dance, magic, beatbox, tap, freestyle (soccer, bike, etc.), guitar, singing, funny secret talent, etc.

Evolving character: 

At first, he’s a mischievous old man. He speaks in a language befitting his age: he’s the grandfather of the “narrator” character behind the camera. He knows everything, has seen everything, and is constantly recounting anecdotes. 

Later, he becomes digital friendly and uses a young person’s language: he masters tech and is up to date with the latest trends (music, topics, clothes, sports, celebrities, etc.). 

So 2 facets to express right from the casting stage. Remuneration: Non-Union. Contract and amount depending on profile: minimum $400/day + image rights. 18-month commitment (1 day of shooting per month).
