Ronny
Strangers
About the Job
Male, 30-40, Indian. Ronny was raised in India and has a learned American cadence from ~10 years in the U.S.). Soft-spoken, observant, unassuming. Ronny has built a quiet life in New York, it is more about getting by and blending into the city than truly belonging. Desire doesn’t come easily or loudly; it’s something he’s learned to suppress. Even in moments that matter, he may pull away or soften his needs before expressing them. Emotionally, he’s contained but never cold. His past has shaped him into someone deeply self-reliant, he is used to moving through the world alone. Underneath, there’s sensitivity, thoughtfulness: his attractiveness and presence is a slow reveal, it accumulates through the course of the film. As he’s pushed out of his comfort zone by this day, and his new wife- something more direct, surprising, even bold begins to emerge. Talent must be based in NYC or work NYC local. Non-Union. Language requirements: Fluent in Hindi/English. CO-LEAD. Note: Ronny and Pari kiss in the short film.
