[PAID] THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS: HEART OF ICE (A MINECRAFT MACHINIMA FILM)
Jittybaz for VICTOR FRIES // MISTER FREEZE
PLEASE READ BEFORE AUDITIONING!
THE CHARACTER
Victor Fries (pronounced FREEZE) is the opposing lead role. Victor comes from a very broken home. As a young boy, that trauma he experienced held control over his life for many, many years... That was until he met Nora.
Nora is Victor's pride and joy. His reason to live. The foundation that his life is built upon.
After marrying at a young age, Victor became a doctor -- a cryogenicist, and devoted his life to his craft.
Although all seemed to be going well... Life hit hard when Nora was diagnosed with a terminal illness.
Using his knowledge as a cryogenicist, and knowing that he has nowhere else to turn, Victor turned to a life of crime in order to raise funding for his wife's cure.
Victor is not a bad guy... But he'll do what he must to save his wife.
THE VOICE
Victor has a very straight-forward arc. He starts as a reserved, intelligent, but clearly broken young man. However, after he marries Nora he begins to open up and experience life as one should: coated in love and happiness with his loved one. But, when Nora is diagnosed, his whole life flips upside down.
Mister Freeze emerges when Victor feels he has nowhere left to turn. Void of all emotion and fueled by a heart of ice, Mister Freeze's apathy that was once built by a broken, unstable family finally comes into full view.
I am looking for a mid-low range, American accented take on the character. HOWEVER, I would be open to a deeper, subtle German accent.

VICTOR FRIES: Hello. My name is Dr. Victor Fries. I am recording, what I hope to be, mankind’s first step toward immortality. What you see behind me.. .Is the CC-100. A cryogenic freezing chamber of my own design. It’s... sole purpose is to freeze subjects stricken with inoperable ailments... Subjects like... My wife -- Nora.
VICTOR FRIES: (a CEO and a group of his security guards are trying to pull the plug on Nora's cryogenic chamber... It's the only thing keeping her alive.) No-! STOP! Please -- this is my experiment! You can’t do this! My wife is in there! If you stop the process too early, she’ll die! You can’t do this!
MISTER FREEZE: (you have a trinket -- a snow globe. It reminds you of your wife, your ultimate goal) This is how I'll always remember you. Surrounded by winter. Forever young. Forever beautiful. Rest comfortably, my love. The monsters who denied you will soon learn that revenge... is a dish best served cold.
