• Deliver a performance that balances gravitas with absurd comedic timing

• Participate in pivotal scenes that offer thematic contrast and comic relief

• Collaborate with the lead cast and director to shape the film’s satirical tone

Requirements
• Male actor, age range 50s–60s

• Strong comedic instincts with the ability to portray ironic transformation
