Lucidus Somnia
Lex Van-Nugent VO for Michael Pham
This role is exclusively open to Asian/Asian-American voice actors
15 years old, student, loner, intentional, non-conformist, logical
Michael has been living with his adoptive father since he was seven years old in a high-rise building in the city's center. While Michael's home life is everything he could ever need, Michael is a complete loner and has never had any friends in his whole life, primarily by choice. Michael has never seen eye-to-eye with people his age and prefers talking to adults as he avoids all interactions he deems unnecessary or trivial. The series opens with him making it a mission to reunite with Kendra, who he hadn't seen since he was six and the closest thing to a friend he's ever had.
A "young" version of this character is available that is about five years old. Ideally, the same person will play both parts (yes, you will be paid twice), but you will be required to audition for both roles. Not auditioning for Young Michael will not disqualify you from playing Michael.
Hmm...let's see what this guy has to say.
(reading from the computer screen)
Hello. I know you don't know me, but you and I were the only two that used to interact with Black Widow and those posts about the virus she claimed to know about. Don't you think it's suspicious that those messages have disappeared off the face of the earth even though only about five people even read them? I think there was something in those messages that someone didn't want anyone to know about. I've been studying them, and she layered in some pretty cryptic shit. I even think I know who she really was.
That's true, but he sat me down on his last day and said that he was going to be leaving and that Doctor Blakely would be taking his place.
(beat)
He knew that I never liked Doctor Blakely, so he said that if I wanted to leave the facility, all I had to do was "forget." I didn't know what that meant right away, but it sure made sense once Blakely took over. He was ruthless.
I think so. I didn't get to talk to her. The Student Council president was showing me around, and I only saw her from a distance.
(beat, then excited)
But she looked straight at me, dad, and I could see in her eyes that she knew who I was...even from a distance.
