Felix Trujillo
The Bodysnatchers
About the Job
Non dialogue part - Heavy emphasis on physical emoting in scenes. Felix is a fidgety young man who thinks he is prepared to meet the big city as a young man. Internally, he still hold the love for his parents but he just can't go back, he feels it's too late to return and he must continue. During this period of guilt, strange occurrences in his city cause him to become paranoid, the sense of being surveilled and possibly charted for taking fills his psyche. In the end, he attempts to reconnect with his family but its far too late, the "Bodysnatchers", a faceless people have taken them and will soon take him as well. This part, this character, embodies the modern-day anxieties of being taken from your home, your normalcy under threat of racial profiling. Above all however, this part is the embodiment of the fear of losing something, someone you love.
