Benjamin Prescott is Sean’s father, a former professional football player who has high expectations and a rigid view of success, both in sports and academics.
He’s emotionally distant and demanding, especially with his son. Since discovering Sean’s homosexuality, their relationship has deteriorated significantly, to the point where Benjamin now barely speaks to him.

Sean is deeply affected by this estrangement and continues to seek his father’s affection and approval, even when it feels hopeless.

Benjamin is a complex character: authoritative, cold, and quietly resentful, yet still human. The role requires a strong emotional presence with subtlety and weight.

This is a small speaking role in the second episode, with just a few lines, but the character may return later in the series, depending on how the story evolves.

In the first scene, Benjamin takes Sean to the park for a training session. The tone is tough and distant — it’s not a moment of bonding, but a display of expectations and control.

In another scene, Benjamin unexpectedly sees Sean with his boyfriend. The confrontation is immediate and emotionally charged, revealing the depth of Benjamin’s anger and denial.

Keep in mind: This is a cinematic, character-driven story — not an animated or theatrical piece.
Please aim for a grounded, natural performance, similar to what you’d hear in films like Normal People, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Call Me by Your Name or The Social Network.
Avoid cartoonish or overly exaggerated deliveries.
Think subtle, real, and genuine — like you're speaking to someone right in front of you.
