Hemlock
Justin Alvira for Jemmingsen
Supporting | Male | Late 50s to early 60s
Editor-in-chief.
The Vibe: The chaotic mentor. Oscillates between profound wisdom and complete absurdity, believing both with equal passion.
Traits: Wise, Idealistic, Whimsical, Erratic. Vocal References: Keith David (Elroy), Robin Williams (Keating), Steve Carell (Michael Scott), Druski.
Register: Warm, expressive, lightly theatrical. Mid range with playful lift. Unpredictable pitch tied to wildly shifting emotions.
Director's Note: Play this like a theater director who has had way too much coffee. Big, erratic passion. Completely oblivious to normal social cues, but somehow the wisest person in the room. Take big swings with pacing. When he gets serious, it is not heavy. It is calm and reassuring, like he is gently reminding you that things are going to be okay.
