Robbie
Uncanny Valley High
About the Job
Seems like a normal 15-year-old, but there’s something off. He’s not exactly awkward, he smiles at the right times, makes eye contact, even mimics the lingo, but it all feels slightly delayed, like he’s rehearsing being human in real-time. His movements are fluid yet artificial, as if his joints were taught the motion rather than born with it. He can copy voices with ease, slipping into different personas the way other kids try on hats. He’s a born mimic and can act though he’s made of rubber, like a young Jim Carrey.
Seeking a strong physical actor with vocal range and precision mimicry skills. Robbie should subtly trigger unease, not from anything overt, but because your instincts quietly whisper: “Something’s not right.”
