Eddy Elfman
auditioning for
TONY / "CROISSANT MAN"
in The Ice Cream Crisis
Male, 25–45, American. Warm, plain, a little goofy. Not wise, not a therapist, just a guy who cares and is always eating something.
( careful, you're trying to convince Carlo to come off the ledge) - "Just talk to me, please. I know I'm just some guy. I still care, though."
(no answer; he tries something else. more relaxed) "Well... do you want the rest of what's in my bakery bag? I normally just point at whatever's behind the counter. I never really think about it."
(walking past, not stopping. Calm, almost gentle, like he's telling someone their shoe's untied.) "You can stop shouting." (beat) "I heard you the first time."
