Character 1
Fred
Age
30s
Gender
Male
Description
FRED Lead (30s/male) Fred is effortlessly handsome, incredibly chill, and a natural social butterfly. He has genius-level EQ, making him instantly likable and a massive hit with the ladies—though his disorganization and inability to say no to a good time recently backfired, leaving him with an ex-girlfriend turned nightmare stalker. Brilliant, adaptable, and a victim of vanity, Fred holds a degree in chemical engineering. However, after AI took his corporate job, he decided to pivot to his childhood dream of launching his own ghost-exterminating business. This unconventional career move finally allows him to monetize a deep, lifelong passion for the paranormal. [Skills: Superb comedic timing. Strong improvisation skills are a major asset. Fred needs to feel grounded, quick on his feet, and effortlessly witty. Open to any ethnicity.]
Character 2
Kenny
Age
30
Gender
Male
Description
KENNY Lead (30/male) Kenny is a laid-back, jack-of-all-trades with a brilliant mechanical mind and endless blue-collar connections. He’s a fisherman by trade, but with the local fishing market collapsing, he’s had to pivot to a brand-new venture: ghost exterminating. Kenny loves a cold beer (frequently enjoyed on the job), finding clever workarounds to hard labor (which others might call laziness), and pulling a good prank. He’s a natural mentor to Delmer, but often clashes with Justin’s academic methods. He’s comfortable in his own skin, rough around the edges, and fiercely loyal. [Skills: Excellent Physical Comedy & Distinct Character Work: We need an actor who can bring a strong, specific physical presence and comedic timing to the screen. Strong improv skills are a major asset to capture his quick-witted, easygoing banter. A natural beer belly or a burly, blue-collar physique is a huge plus. Open to any ethnicity.]
Character 3
Justin
Age
30s
Gender
Male
Description
JUSTIN Lead (30s/male) A brilliant but tightly wound IT whiz who walked away from tech to chase a childhood dream with his two half-brothers of opening a ghost-hunting startup. With a math PhD and software background, Justin is a true polymath, a Shakespeare nut, and a sarcastic history buff who treats life as a quest to expand his brainpower. What he has in academic genius, he completely lacks in street smarts. He’s thrilled to finally be his own boss (sort of) and step into a new chapter of personal freedom. [Skills: Comedic delivery. Ability to improvise is an asset. Open to any ethnicity]
Character 4
Delmer
Age
18
Gender
Male
Description
DELMER Co-Lead (18/male) Delmer is a friendly, sweet, genuine, and wide-eyed Hutterite runaway standing on the edge of a massive new world. Built with a solid, farm-raised physicality but carrying a deep, untouched innocence, he has spent his entire life in a strict communal society. Now, he is chasing a burning yearning to experience everything he’s never seen: skyscrapers piercing the clouds, bustling shopping malls, roaring sports cars, helicopters, the vast ocean and the electric pulse of big-city nightclubs. This role is a powerhouse opportunity for an actor to portray a profound coming-of-age journey. We are looking for someone who can beautifully balance a strong physical presence with an endearing, vulnerable naivety as Delmer steps into his chaotic, exciting next chapter. [Actor must be 18+. Preference for Caucasian ethnicity]
Character 5
Lily
Age
30
Gender
Female
Description
LILY Co-Lead (30/female) Lily is cute, witty, and fiercely independent. After walking away from a cushy corporate ladder and a highly judgmental family, she traded her high heels for work boots to chase her dream: running her own hobby farm. She’s earnest, deeply down-to-earth, and entirely back-to-nature—but passion doesn't pay the tuition for her agricultural courses. Enter Johnson Paranormal. To fund her late-night studying, she’s taken a gig as the agency's newest secretary. Balancing spreadsheets, ghost sightings, and goat feed, Lily is a grounded force in a chaotic, supernatural world. [Preference for Chinese/East Asian ethnicity]
Additional Characters

Ms. GUNDERSON (80/female) She’s your friendly neighborhood grandma. She’s sweet, independent, slightly oblivious, devoted to her baking and prized cactus, and isn't afraid to unwind with a THC gummy. But her cozy world is turned upside down by an overwhelming ghost presence that's taking over her home.
[We are looking for an actress who can balance warmth and genuine vulnerability, as she faces the supernatural and keeps an embarrassing secret. Open to any ethnicity]

TONY (40s/male) Tony is the ultimate contradiction: a chill, uber-organized, and ruthlessly violent drug importer who genuinely believes in giving back to his community. When he isn't managing high-stakes international logistics or handling business with cold precision, he’s passionately funding local charities and cheering on neighborhood sports teams. He runs his empire like a Fortune 500 company, but his meticulously ordered life has just been thrown into complete chaos.
An annoying, chaotic ghost has moved into his estate, wreaking absolute havoc on his sanity and his bottom line. Tony is a man used to eliminating his problems—but how do you eliminate something you can’t kill?
[Seeking an actor who can balance a grounded, dangerous intensity with a relaxed, dry charm. Open to any ethnicity]
