RAY OKONKWO — Metro SWAT Officer

Ray Okonkwo is a core member of Sacramento Metro SWAT and one of the emotional anchors of the team.

Ray is Nigerian-American, experienced, dependable, observant, and naturally warm. Around the team he has an easy sense of humor and feels like someone you'd genuinely want beside you on a bad day. When a situation becomes dangerous, that warmth gives way to a focused, controlled professional.

We are looking for a natural adult male performance with warmth, confidence, and emotional range. Ray should sound like a real person rather than a stereotypical action-game soldier. Please do not force an African accent; the character is Nigerian-American.

Ray's relationships with his teammates are important to BLUE HOUR, so the actor needs to handle humor and ordinary conversation just as convincingly as tactical dialogue and serious emotional scenes.

Performance style: grounded, conversational, warm, confident and believable. Natural pauses and reactions are encouraged. Avoid an announcer, movie-trailer, or exaggerated military delivery.

This is a major recurring character beginning with the FIRST LIGHT playable demo
