Officer Marcus Cross

Officer Marcus Cross is a patrol officer who disappeared after responding to the same address three nights before Officer Ward.

Cross is heard mainly through recordings recovered from his damaged bodycam. He begins calm, professional and cautious, but gradually becomes confused and terrified as he realises that the voice directing him through the house may not be the real dispatcher.

The performance should remain grounded and believable. Cross is a trained police officer trying to control his fear—not an exaggerated horror character. The actor must be comfortable performing tense breathing, quiet panic and a final moment of terrified realisation.

Voice age: approximately 30–50. General American accent preferred. Approximately 10–15 lines. A clean microphone and the ability to provide unedited WAV recordings are required.
