World's Greatest Detective - Season 1, Story 3 - "The Lynx of Mbacké"
Crownie for Doctor Kirk Langstrom
Doctor Kirk Langstrom
An avid aficionado of all things batty, Kirk Langstrom works as a paleontologist at the Gotham Museum of Natural History.

Excitable and cursed with a bad habit of rambling, Langstrom possesses a keen intellect and powers of observation. Think Matt Smith in Doctor Who.
Voice should be high to medium, late 20’s to mid-30’s. American accent.

[gently] Hello, friends. Oh, they have you cooped up in these awful cupboards. You should be free, flying in the night. I’m sorry. I just need to take a little sample here… Dead skin will do…
