About the Job
Any Gender | Any Age | Any Ethnicity (Asian strongly preferred) A mysterious supernatural entity who appears at moments of profound vulnerability. Tall, lanky, elegant, unsettling, seductive, and terrifying, the Figure in a Top Hat functions as both tempter and guide. A supernatural manifestation intimately connected to Red's inner world, it feels less like a separate being and more like a distorted reflection of her psyche. It never raises its voice. Its power comes from understanding exactly what someone most desperately wants. We are seeking an actor with a magnetic presence.. The role should evoke the feeling of a fairy tale devil, a shadow self, or a sleep paralysis demon. Think Frank in Donnie Darko. Tall stature is strongly preferred. Supporting Role.
