Characters

MALES
___________________________________________
Name: Ollie Parker CASTING
Age: Mid twenties
Bio: Olliver "The Big O" Parker has survived in the zombie business by avoiding it. Not out of fear, but out of a general undisciplined attitude towards work. He knows the ins and outs of the business and how to get what he wants without gaining actual responsibilities. As for as the actual zombie slaying goes, he isn't a coward, but also he isn't stupid. Ollie's posturing as senior employee and defacto leader does give him the role of keeping his team alive if only to ensure less work for himself. Ever the (perceived) ladies man, Ollie uses the "magic of the uniform" whenever he meets a creature of the fairer gender. Overall, think Randal from Clerks meets Hawkeye from Mash. Ollie is pictured at the top of this thread.
[/I] Voice type: Laid Back Carney. subtle Georgian/Southern accent (not pronounced, unless he's panicking)
Audition line 1:
"So, here's the receipt for your husband.
You can decide whether you want to send
a hearse to pick him up from us or we
can add a disposal fee to your bill.
That's my personal number on the back,
so feel free to call me anytime [wink]
"
Audition line 2:
"Let me ask you sumthin'... is you inbred?"
Audition line 3:
"Well, we head back to HQ, deliver the stiff (Checks Watch) Just in time to catch the Godzilla marathon on channel 42! "

Name: Callahan CAST - Ian G.
Age: Middle Aged (50-ish)
Bio: Callahan is a veteran of the zombie "de-animation" business. He built SlackJaw from the groundup out of his old Auto-shop after the outbreak. Things aren't easy for one of the last independent outfits in town. His pacemaker has him riding a desk to sort out his companies finances... which is proving a tougher battle than any corpse ever gave him.
Voice type: Callahan is a stern old sort, but not a harsh taskmaster. As long as the work gets done, he's fairly docile. Callahan has a very matter of fact speech pattern. We are looking for a Danny Glover "I'm too old for this s***" type or whatever you got in an "older subdued leader" category.
Audition line 1:
"Slack-Jaw De-animation, where the dead stay dead, how may I help you? (pause) Uh huh. (scribbling on a sheet) We’re on it! "
Audition line 2:
"Got a job on Redfield Drive, take the greenhorn with you. It's his first call so... be gentle."
Audition line 3:
"Looks like a club promoter got himself an infestation at one of his venues. Slip says it shouldn't be more than a Romero's dozen."

Name: Katrina "Kat" Ashfeild CAST - Zellie
Age: 22 (ish)
Bio: Kat made a call to SlackJaw about her undead roomate and was saved by their self proclaimed ladies man Ollie (he really isn't). Ever since, she is convinced that they will be together... He'll come around...
Voice type: Perfectly normal... except for her thought process. Written as going from one gear to another within the same sentence. Delivered as plainly as possible with just a hint of psycho bubbling under the surface.
Audition line 1:
(worried) Its my roomate, she came home late last night and when I checked on her this morning, she... she... [she begins to weep then Kat raises her L hand] I'm Katrina nicetomeetyou (sob).
Audition line 2:
Waitress Kat: (cheerful) So Ollie, what can I get you and this skank?
Ollie: Katrina...So nice to ...I didn't know you worked here.
Katrina: Oh I don't... you'd be suprised what doors open when you bring your own apron.
Audition Line 3:
ALLISON: An ex-girlfriend of yours?
OLLIE & KAT: NO.. no... no
Katrina: We share a bond deeper than any trivial social label could contain.
OLLIE: Sorry what?
