Character Description: 

Troy is a dedicated paleontologist, used to life knocking him down—but no matter how hard it gets, he faces each day with a forced smile. Between the museum’s steady decline, Mae’s battle with cancer, and a fractured home life shaped by his father’s alcoholism and his sister’s absence at college, Troy often feels like he’s carrying more than he can handle—especially with his younger brother Greg left behind in the chaos.

He loves his family and friends deeply, but takes that love for granted, never fully realizing their value until it’s too late. As everything around him begins to fall apart and loss becomes unavoidable, Troy is forced to confront the weight of his choices.

During the expedition, surrounded by strangers in a brutal prehistoric world where survival is never guaranteed, Troy begins to change. Facing death at every turn, he learns to appreciate the people beside him, forming bonds that grow into a new kind of family—one built on survival, trust, and the understanding that any moment could be their last. (Be sure to record at least 2-3 takes)
