About the Job
Male | Lebanese-American (Open to other MENA ethnicities) | 14-17 y/o, ideally 18 TPY. This is the 1940's. He’s gruff and sharp-tongued, using dry humor and wisecracks as both armor and release; wit is how he keeps sentiment at bay. He’s extremely stubborn- it’s his way or the highway. His strength feels practiced rather than innate, as if holding himself together requires effort. His arc tracks a boy forced into adulthood too soon who learns, slowly and imperfectly, that leadership does not mean isolation. MUST BE LOCAL HIRE TO PENNSYLVANIA. MUST BE ABLE TO LEARN TO SPEAK A LITTLE ARABIC. Rate: SAG MLB
