About the Job

The Dad is a distant and silent patriarch, disfigured and broken. He is an alcoholic who doesn’t speak, is covered in burn scars, and chain-smokes. His silence reads as defeat, he has surrendered to the dark. He is depression in its purest form, and carries a haunted bitterness expressed through mutism. Cast based on face and presence. No dialogue. Provide 30 seconds of your interpretation of this character.
