About the Job
18+ to play 18, Italian-American. Gio Russo is imposing, volatile, and deeply conflicted, shaped by a lifetime under the control of a manipulative and violent father. He masks vulnerability with intimidation, using fear as armor while craving genuine connection. Torn between his role as mafia heir and his emerging conscience, Gio struggles to reconcile love with loyalty, tenderness with brutality. His relationship with Luna exposes the parts of himself he has been conditioned to suppress, ultimately forcing a decisive moral reckoning. *Male talent must be comfortable being shirtless. Additionally, talent must be comfortable with intimacy (passionate kissing, caressing and implied sex). An on-set intimacy coordinator will be present for all levels of intimacy. Additionally, there is some light action work that will require physical restraint, physical struggle and the use of a prop firearm. A stunt coordinator will be present for all action work.
