About the Job
CHARLIE (17) – An all-American 80s teenager with an earnest, straightforward toughness. He’s loyal, protective, and feels things more strongly than he lets on. Charlie works hard, shoulders responsibility, and expects the same from the people he cares about. When it comes to Mike, their history runs deep—deep enough that betrayal hits harder, and honesty costs more. He isn’t flashy or dramatic; he’s a kid who just wants the truth, even when it hurts. In confronting his old best friend, Charlie’s mix of frustration, heartbreak, and stubborn hope defines him: a good kid trying to hold on to someone he’s already halfway lost.
