Derek Highdecker

About the Job

18+ to play 18. Derek, Lacey’s boyfriend, is the kind of person who weaponizes charm, deploying affection and flattery as tools of control rather than genuine connection. He presents himself as devoted and dependable, but his behavior reveals a pattern of self-interest masked by romantic gestures. His ego is tightly bound to social status, and he grows volatile when that status feels threatened. Beneath the polished football captain exterior is someone deeply insecure, prone to cruelty when cornered, and ultimately unwilling to take responsibility for the harm he causes. He is simultaneously calculating and emotionally immature, a person who mistakes possession for love. *Talent must be comfortable with on-camera kissing. An on-set intimacy coordinator will be present for all levels of intimacy. *Talent must be based in Los Angeles or able to work as an LA local hire.
