Tyler Fletcher

About the Job

Male lead, 18-25. transfer student and standout swimmer from a working-class background. Appearance: Leaning more twunk than twink, he’s athletic, and naturally striking in a way that reads more raw than polished. Wears practical, inexpensive clothes, like hoodies under his blazers that stand out against the school’s wealthier student body. Carries himself with defiant confidence, even when isolated. Personality: Tyler is bold, sharp-tongued, and emotionally fearless on the surface, quick to challenge anyone who underestimates him. He uses attitude as armor, especially in hostile spaces, but underneath his bravado is a deeply lonely young man who wants dignity, belonging, and real love without compromise. He is proud, reactive, and unwilling to let anyone define him. Objective: Find a place for himself at an elite school that clearly wants him gone and protect his dignity while pursuing a relationship that refuses to stay hidden. Character arc: Tyler begins as an outsider who survives through defiance, meeting cruelty with swagger and provocation. As the pressure escalates, he is forced to confront how much the school’s hostility and Beckett’s mixed signals are actually hurting him. By the end, he matures from fighting simply to win into demanding something deeper: honesty, self-respect, and a love that does not require him to shrink or hide. NECESSARY TO HAVE SWIMMING EXPERIENCE. Open to portraying LGBTQ+ characters. Has intimacy scenes with Beckett.
