About the Job

LITTLE PERSON : Male, All ethnicities. Striking, rugged, weathered face. Small in stature but immense in presence. Part trickster, part oracle, part heckler. He mocks the hero while setting him on his path toward downfall and transformation. Grounded yet otherworldly. Funny in a cruel way, like someone who’s already seen the end of the world and stopped pretending to care. His words cut through illusion. Tone / Inspiration: The mocking soldier of The Iliad reimagined as a modern-day oracle in the wasteland. Scene: One major dialogue scene requiring a layered performance — menace, humor, and strange grace.
