Character list for HTMTU Script Reading

FOR THE ZEU MEMBERS: Here is the character list for the script reading coming up. Names with an * by them are for characters that have already been cast. You can volunteer for these roles, but if the actors playing the roles show up for the reading, you might be SOL. You’re free to take multiple roles.

WILLIS - The good-old-boy, laid-back lead singer of Morons Without Brains (MOB); the slightly heroic, simple-minded leading man.

BLUFORD - The slightly dim-witted but loyal bass guitarist of MOB. A bit of a airhead/goofball, but is a sweet guy with good intentions. Looks out for his friends and sticks with them to the end.

*MACY – The female drummer of MOB. A sarcastic tomboy who can kick ass when need be. Shows up to the guys and humiliates them frequently. Does have a soft side though, but she never shows it.

RIKER - The Fun-Loving Guitarist for MOB. Willis’ best friend since Kindergarten. The cool guy/ladies man/hipster of the group.

*GEOFF – An aimless convenience store clerk (a la Randall in “Clerks”) turn marksman of the group. Starts out as a slacker who doesn’t know what he wants to do with life, turns into Keanu Reeves in “Speed.” Friends with the MOB members.

*KATRINA – Werewolf girlfriend of the character Hunter. She and Hunter were present at McPharllen Industries, the site where the zombie attack began. Is rattled by the events that happened. Both Hunter and herself turn into werewolves whenever they sense danger.

NAPOLEON RIPOFFAMITE - A Napoleon Dynamite spoof character who meets a tragic end.

ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS 1, 2, & 3

BRYAN - A convenience store clerk similar to the character Dante in “Clerks.”

DR. RICHARD HUNTER - Chief Medical Scientist of McPharllen Industries, and father of the Character Hunter.

AND OTHER SMALL, NON-SPEAKING ROLES.

Further details on time and location are being worked by me, cast, crew and ZEU staff. The date, however, has been set: Sunday, Feb 1. (Next week.) Email me at jaywallace1@gmail.com if you're interested. Hope to see you there.
