Elias

The Weight Of Wood

Short Film - Man 24 - 33 Non Union Principal 06/02/2026 Los Angeles

About the Job

Elias lives behind a fortress of clinical perfection to mask a deep childhood trauma. His minimalist apartment is "too clean," his actions surgically precise, and his life dictated by rigid routine a survival tactic to keep the past buried. When the supernatural manifestation of his deceased, abusive father invades his sanctuary, Elias’s fragile illusion of control shatters. This role requires a masterful actor who can project immense internal pressure through a stoic, quiet exterior. Elias is trapped in a state of hyper-vigilance, but underneath his fear lies a reservoir of sharp, deeply suppressed rage. The character's arc hinges on a grounded, chillingly quiet transition where he shifts from paralyzed childhood terror into an active, fierce reclamation of his own mind. Requires exceptional physical acting, subtle nuance, and strong breath control.
