Elliot Plym

About the Job

The final official adjudicator of The Atlas of Human Accomplishment, an organization he takes with complete and unwavering seriousness. Dry, meticulous, and seemingly incapable of irony, Elliot approaches every accomplishment, no matter how absurd, with the gravitas of a Supreme Court justice delivering a constitutional ruling. For decades, he has overseen hundreds of attempts by Amelia and her family, quietly documenting every success and failure. Beneath his formal exterior lies a deep affection for the people he evaluates, though he would never admit it. Think a cross between a boarding-school headmaster, a museum curator, and a referee at the Olympics. The comedy comes not from Elliot trying to be funny, but from how seriously he treats an utterly ridiculous world. Must have excellent deadpan timing and be comfortable delivering dry dialogue with complete sincerity. This role also appears in several archival sequences portraying members of the long-running Plym family dynasty of Atlas adjudicators across different decades. Strong comedic actors with subtle dramatic instincts encouraged to submit.
