Davis
Psychological Horror Short -- "tender Objects"
About the Job
A meticulous suburban man with tightly wound energy beneath a calm exterior. Davis is precise, controlled, and emotionally repressed—a man who craves connection but doesn’t know how to give it freely. On the surface, he’s polite and well-mannered; beneath, he harbors dark compulsions he keeps neatly tucked away, like his cardigan collection or his surgical knife set. He is not a mustache-twirling villain, but someone who believes love can be contained, curated, and kept forever. The role demands subtlety—micro-expressions, stillness, and a deep understanding of loneliness, ritual, and restrained menace. Think: Michael C. Hall in Dexter, Benedict Cumberbatch in The Power of the Dog, Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler.
