Dad

Drunk Son Punches Father

About the Job

The father is a hardworking, emotionally grounded man who deeply loves his son but struggles to reach him through his rebellious phase. He’s calm, patient, and quietly strong — the kind of man who chooses compassion over anger even when hurt. On set, the role involves a range of emotions: from the explosive confrontation where he’s punched by his son, to tender, silent moments of heartbreak and forgiveness. The actor will perform light staged physical action (a choreographed hit), drive in short exterior scenes, and deliver heartfelt, grounded dialogue in key emotional sequences — including a school hallway reunion and a hospital bedside reconciliation. The performance requires depth, subtlety, and an authentic fatherly presence that conveys love, pain, and quiet strength without overacting.
