ROLES BREAKDOWN:
SPAZ (Mid-Size Supporting)
Age: 30s–40s
Ethnicity: Latin / Hispanic / Ethnically ambiguous
Gender: Male
Shoot Days: 2–3
Special Requirement: Must ride and provide valid motorcycle license
Spaz is the leader of a New Mexico-based motorcycle club chapter—a man with undeniable respect, authority, and swagger among his crew. He’s sharp and self-aware, able to admire a legend like Rolly Boulders without dimming his own shine. Playful and quick-thinking, he needles without provoking, using charm and wit even when pressing for answers. Street-smart and intuitive, Spaz walks the line between affable and dangerous. When he laughs, others follow; when he gets serious, the room shifts. He knows how to disarm, intimidate, or command with ease—and above all, he lives by the MC code: loyalty, honor, and respect.
OFFICER DON (Small Supporting)
Age: 20s–early 40s
Ethnicity: Open
Gender: Male
Shoot Days: 2–3
Officer Don is a young, hormone-driven city cop in West Texas. He struggles to meet the expectations of his superior and tries to mask that insecurity with bravado and over-assertion. A little impulsive, a little cocky. This role requires strong instincts, presence, subtle comic or dramatic timing, and an athletic physique.
OFFICER JOHNS (Small Supporting)
Age: 40s–60s
Ethnicity: Open
Gender: Male
Shoot Days: 2–3
Officer Johns is an intense, pursuit-driven cop in West Texas. He gets a rush from the chase—eager to make the arrest, eager to make it stick. There’s an edge of satisfaction when he closes in, but he’s not reckless. He knows when to rein it in and defer to the bigger picture. This role requires strong presence, timing, and the ability to walk the line between force and control.
LEVON (Small Supporting)
Age: 40s–50s
Ethnicity: Black
Gender: Male
Shoot Days: 1
Special Requirement: Must ride and have a valid motorcycle license
Levon is a Black Texas biker in his 40s or 50s—the President of his Motorcycle Club. He’s wise, grounded, and commands respect without needing to raise his voice. He gets straight to the point, doesn’t play games, and knows how to navigate power dynamics with quiet force. A strategic thinker and respected leader. This role requires strong presence, depth, and confidence—plus real motorcycle riding experience.
COWBOY (Small Role)
Age: 20s–early 30s
Ethnicity: Open
Gender: Male
Shoot Days: 1
The Cowboy is a handsome, rugged rodeo competitor in his 20s or early 30s — bold, flirtatious, and used to getting attention. He’s cocky, entitled, and doesn’t handle rejection well. What starts as harmless charm turns aggressive when his ego is bruised. He nearly provokes a fight with the older male lead in a tense public standoff. This role requires strong screen presence, confident delivery, and the ability to play both charm and menace with authenticity.
ARIZONA STATE TROOPER (Small Role)
Age: Open
Ethnicity: Open
Gender: Male
Shoot Days: 1
The Arizona State Trooper is part of a new era of law enforcement, one where the line between cop and outlaw isn’t as clear. He represents a quiet shift in the culture: no longer the hard-nosed enemy of the biker world, but someone who thinks he respects it—or maybe even relates to it—but he doesn’t.This role is subtle and layered—a modern-day lawman who loves the power of his badge.
ROLEX RIDER (Small Role)
Age: Late 20s–early 40s
Ethnicity: Open
Gender: Male
Shoot Days: 2
Special Requirement: Must ride and have valid motorcycle license
The Rolex Rider is a preppy, well-groomed man in his late 20s to early 40s who rides a motorcycle, but only on the weekends. He doesn’t look like a biker and doesn’t pretend to be one. He got the bike to feel something wild and exciting in his otherwise buttoned-up life.
PADDLE BOARDER (Small Role)
Age: 20s–30s
Ethnicity: Open
Gender: Male
Physique: Lean or athletic
Shoot Days: 1
Special Requirement: Must be able to confidently paddle board on camera
The Paddle Boarder is a good-looking, smooth-talking guy in his late 20s–30s. He’s slick, goes after what he wants, like a snake in the water. Lean or athletic.
