Ethnicity: Latino / Hispanic, White / European Descent
Required Media: Headshot/Photo, Video Reel and SELF TAPE of THE ROLE AS ED
Required Skills:
A 50-something Hispanic San Diegan, a charming and confident presence who embodies the brand: approachable, authentic, supportive, resourceful, and effortlessly cool. Think Pedro Pascal playing the Dos Equis “Most Interesting Man in the World”—but in a grounded, relatable, San Diego way.
Character Traits: Confident but never cocky: neighborly, approachable, and authentic; effortlessly charismatic, with smooth, fluid movement; resourceful, clever, supportive, the financial “wingman” you didn’t know you needed; bilingual (English/Spanish), with the ability to weave in light Spanglish naturally; infectious calm and optimism: he makes everyone around him feel like “everything will be alright”
Performance Notes: Swagger and Cali-cool confidence should feel natural, not performed. Movements should be relaxed, smooth, and assured (not stiff or wooden). Less is more: expressions and gestures should be simple, direct, and quietly commanding. Always feels welcome but unexpected when he enters a scene, he belongs wherever he shows up. His slight smile and calm demeanor are magnetic, drawing people in effortlessly.
Reference Comparisons: Pedro Pascal: charisma plus warmth (maybe add some black rimmed glasses). Dos Equis “Most Interesting Man”: suave confidence. A Cali-cool, neighborly presence that’s both aspirational and approachable.
