Blair - Male / Lead / African American / 20-35
Character Name: Blair Gender: Male Age: 28 Occupation: Auto Repair Technician
Size of Role: Lead
Gender: Male
Age: 20-35
Ethnicity: Black
Blair is a victim of circumstance which is why his friends consider him a realist. He is
single, likes to party and misses the days where him and Steven used to go out every
weekend. He did not grow up with a lot of money and works hard for the little he has. He
is the oldest of the group and he was forced to grow up a lot faster than his peers. Even
though he has a little bit more life experience than the other guys he is not as
accomplished. He is a bit rough around the edges with a stubbornly strong personality.
He can be a bit intimidating at times but has good intentions. He prefers to solve issues
on his own and does not like getting outside help on those situations. He often thinks
about the worst-case scenario, which often influences his judgement.

Josh - Male / Lead / Any Ethnicity / 20-35
Character Name: Josh Gender: Male Age: 27 Occupation: Sports Therapist
Size of Role: Lead
Gender: Male
Age: 20-35
Ethnicity: Any
Josh is just as successful as Steven but not as playful. He is the most responsible out of
the group of friends and they often go to him for advice. He does not always share the
same views as Blair, which usually results in disagreements between the two. Most of the
time Josh is easygoing but has been known to be strong-minded when he sees fit. He is
usually a rational thinker but can also be a bit naïve at times. His success and ability to
make a better life for himself has him thinking there are no excuses for those not as
successful. He believes in searching for the best-case scenario in any given situation even
if it means overlooking the facts. Family and friendship mean everything to him.TypeLeadUnionACTRAPaying?No - NoneSpot/EpisodeRole GenderMaleAge Range20-35Ethnic AppearanceAny EthnicityRole DescriptionCharacter Name: Josh Gender: Male Age: 27 Occupation: Sports Therapist
