Dying for a Living - Mindy

Female, 20-30. Relaxed but somewhat clueless, Mindy is focused on trivial tasks, trying to roll a joint, though not very successfully. She is the seductive type, casual, comfortable lounging around, often seen dripping wet from the pool and flaunting her physical appearance. She is also often seen trying (and failing) to complete simple tasks, although she does have the ability to manipulate with charm. The actress should have a confident, alluring presence and be comfortable in swimwear. This role requires physicality and confidence to play up the bold, sassy attitude Mindy uses to navigate dangerous situations. Must have comedic timing to deliver this role effectively.

Dying for a Living - Savannah

Female, 20-30. She is laid-back and unfazed by the events around her, casually snacking on chips while violence and tension unfold. She provides a stark contrast to the high-stakes drama with her calm demeanor. This role requires physical confidence and comfort in swimwear, as the character will often be seen poolside or in luxurious settings. Strong improvisational skills are a plus for this role.

Dying for a Living - Liz

Female, 25-40. Liz is Christo’s ex-lover, a regular woman from the suburbs who unexpectedly got swept into his dangerous world. While Liz comes from a relatively normal, middle-class background, her life took a dramatic turn when she became involved with Christo. She is not part of the criminal underworld, but rather someone who was once deeply in love and drawn into circumstances far beyond her control. Liz is smart, resilient, and emotionally grounded, with a strong moral compass that contrasts with the darker world she’s had to navigate due to her past with Christo. Though she’s no longer part of his life, the emotional scars remain, and she carries herself with the quiet strength of someone who’s been through more than most.

Note: These characters may be seen lounging by the pool, engaging in leisurely activities, or simply enjoying the lavish surroundings. The actresses must be comfortable in swimwear, cocktail dresses, and other upscale attire.
