Two male characters, aged 50–65, who feel like long-time regulars at a neighborhood diner. These are classic "old heads"— confident, opinionated, and unfiltered. They love to talk basketball and aren’t shy about sharing strong takes. Loud in the best way, they bring energy, humor, and history to every conversation. Both should feel characterful and slightly weathered, with an authentic East Coast vibe—think Brooklyn barbershop meets sidewalk philosopher. Experience in front of the camera is essential, and they must be comfortable taking direction while still bringing their own personality to the role. Real chemistry between the two is a plus.
