Once a rising star on the racetrack, Charlie's career came to a screeching halt after a major crash left his future in ruins. Now bitter, broke, and trying to keep a low profile, he masks his lingering ambition with dry sarcasm and a “why bother” attitude. Despite his cynicism, Charlie’s loyalty runs deep, and when push comes to shove, he always shows up—especially for Douglas.

• Medium-low pitch with a light Southern accent (open to interpretation—feel free to explore what fits.
• Dry, sarcastic tone—think calm frustration with flickers of warmth and reluctant heroism.
• Sounds tired of the world, but not sluggish; speaks at a moderate pace, like someone used to rolling with the punches.
• Can lean into deadpan humor, but must have emotional range for moments of genuine concern, shouting, and slapstick pain. 
• Pay close attention to the audition lines—brackets indicate tone, actions, or emotional context to guide your delivery. 
• Note: The first audition line plays into Douglas’s (and vice versa)
