About the Job
Late-20s grill cook, slick, territorial, and proud. Feels the restaurant is his home turf and Dimitri is the outsider who stole “his” spot on the line. Big ego, fragile underneath. Starts as petty rival, then becomes a reluctant partner in grey-area money-making and borderline crime. Not a mustache-twirling villain; he’s insecure and very human. Specs: 25–35, Latino (preferably Miami/Caribbean/Central or South American background), English with comfortable Spanish/Spanglish, talks a little too loud, flirts a little too hard, gambles when he shouldn’t, and can flip from clown to quietly menacing.
