COMPENSATION: Contract pay will be negotiated upon job offer.
ROLES:
1- SHERIFF JIM MORGAN (Male)
Respected and charming Sheriff of Old West town. Strong leader with snippets of wit and comic timing. Old fashioned respectful crush on Annie Walker. Is a lover not a fighter, but not afraid to get his hands dirty to protect his town and those that live there. (Must be physically fit. Not afraid of heights. Willing to ride a horse. Horse experience is a plus, but not required)
2- ANNIE WALKER (Female)
Independent Southern Belle and owner of the general store. Elegant and polite, but her daddy taught her how to take care of herself. Soft and caring with a classy sense of humor. The glue that holds the town together. (Must be physically fit. Not afraid of heights. Willing to ride a horse. Horse experience is a plus, but not required)
3- DUSTY (Male)
Goofy and somewhat dense comic relief. What you see is what you get. The guy who has his heart on his sleeve and you can’t help but love him. Always finds himself in a tight spot, but somehow ends up as the hero in any situation. Strong physical comedy! (Must be physically fit. Not afraid of heights. Willing to ride a horse. Horse experience is a plus, but not required)
4- DUKE HARRINGTON (Male)
Well-spoken, rugged, and charming outlaw of the Old West, feared by all. Doesn’t play games, and won’t hesitate to do the unthinkable when others aren’t cooperating. Always has a plan and two loyal henchmen to boss around. Not a man of many words, but everything he says has carries a great deal of weight, and a single sentence can do more damage than any revolver ever could. (Must be physically fit. Not afraid of heights. Must perform 30 foot high fall. Willing to ride a horse. Horse experience is a plus, but not required)
5- TINY (Male)
Towering empty-headed muscle head henchman to Duke. Very rough looking, but has a heart of gold and would jump in front of a buffalo to save a bunny. Can be easily distracted. You know he’s killed a man, but you can’t help but want to hug him. (Must be physically fit. Not afraid of heights. Horse experience is a plus, but not required)
6- SMOKEY (Male)
Dark and mysterious henchman to Duke. Not as lovable as his brother Tiny, always suggesting the most inhumane ways to deal with opposers. Most likely the kid that was always burning ants with a magnifying glass. Think Sid from Toy Story. (Must be physically fit. Not afraid of heights. Horse experience is a plus, but not required)
