EXEC PROD, Jerry Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman, Meredith Stiehm, Jennifer Johnson, Greg Plageman; CO-EXEC PROD, Merri Howard; PROD, Roxann Dawson; DIR, David Von Ancken; WRTR, Jennifer Johnson. Shoot Dates: October 17-28, 2008 (in Los Angeles, CA). Breakdown-- Ally Thurston: 21 in 1960, bright-eyed, with an open face, girl-next-door beautiful, spunky, intelligent, stubborn, "the girl you want on your team. Ally is a small town New Jersey girl who's thrilled with the chance to see the world as a newly-minted Global World Airlines stewardess. Ally, like the rest of the world, initially has a starry-eyed view of the glamorous stewardess profession, but she's quickly disillusioned as she comes up against the sexism that prevents stews from having families, forces them to quit at age 32, and subjects them to the unwanted advances of lecherous pilots. A devoted friend to her roommate and best friend Helen Underwood, Ally (as Helen says years later) is not so much a young feminist as just a person who believes in fair play--but her determination to air the stews' grievances to the airlines leads to her murder. Guest Star; Helen Underwood (1960): 21 in 1960, with girl-next-door good looks but more sophisticated and curvy than Ally. Helen is also a new stewardess and Ally's best friend, having been roomates with her in training school. Recruited straight for the University of Colorado, Helen, like Ally (and the rest of the world) is in love with the idea of being a stewardess, with its implied excitement and glamour of world travel. More pragmatic than Ally, Helen becomes pregnant while on the job, has a botched abortion in Stockholm, and gratefully accepts Ally's discreet and devoted help as she recovers. Guest Star; Helen Underwood (2008): 69, her posture, composure and grooming more relaxed than in her stewardess days, well-spoken. Helen in 2008 is now a doctor, who is happy to speak with Valens and Miller about her old friend, fellow stew Ally Thurston. Helen alerts the cops to the existence of Ally's old high school boyfriend, Bert Walters, but neglects to tell them at first about her own troubles back then--her pregnancy, her botched abortion (which is the reason she's a doctor today), being nursed back to health by Ally. Helen tells the cops about Ally's attempts to get fair working conditions for the stews, thoughtfully pointing out that Ally wasn't a feminist--she just believed in fair play. Guest Star; Gloria Stone (1960): The Ideal Stewardess in 1960, slightly older than the new recruits (claiming to be 26 but in reality closer to 32, the mandatory retirement age for Global World Airlines stews), infinitely more poised, with crisp suit and perfect hair and makeup, Gloria is the supervisor for a group of stewardess trainees, including Ally and Helen. Quite capable of putting the new girls to work while she takes the easy duty (like reading to a little kid) on a flight, Gloria deflty handles the slightly drunk and lecherous Captain Rowland Hughes. Later, it's revealed that she and the married Hughes are having a discreet affair which Gloria desperately hopes will end with marriage. Gloria is outraged when Ally's fight for justice for the stews results in Hughes getting fired, and in a fit of anger she murderes Ally. Guest Star; Gloria Stone (2008): 70s in 2008, but still poised and beautiful. Gloria, once the Ideal Stewardess of the 1960s, is working the ticket counter of a low-rent local carrier, clearly disgusted with the current low-class state of air travel. Interviewed by Valens and Rush, Gloria talks freely of Ally Thurston, suggesting that they look to co-pilot Dean London for clues about her murder. Gloria doesn't volunteer the information that she herself was having an affair back then with married Captain Rowland Hughes, who was fired from Global World Airlines after Ally complained publicly about his mistreatment of the stews. Eventually, though, Gloria is forced to confess the murder of Ally Thurston. Guest Star; Dean London (1960): 25 in 1960, handsome, charming, a decent guy. Dean's a First Officer with Global World Airlines, flying with Captain Rowland Hughes, when he first meets and falls for stew Ally Thurston. Though Dean himself is disgusted when Hughes' treatment of the stews, he doesn't say anything for fear of his own job, and Dean grows increasingly upset with Ally for making a fuss about Hughes and the other injustices she feels the stews endure. Genuinely in love with Ally, Dean is shocked and hurt when she refuses his offer of marriage. Prototype: Dean Martin. Guest Star; Dean London (2008): Now 74, but still handsome, now the owner of his own plane. Dean is interviewed by Jeffries and Vera about his relationship with Ally in 1960. He downplays his feelings for Ally and chalks up their break-up to "different flights, different cities," but he points out that though he admired her spunk, not every did--notably Captain Rowland Hughes who, Dean points out, left Global Air for a new carrier the same week of Ally's disappearance. Eventually, Dean is called on the carpet by the cops for a fight he and Ally had when he learned that she was fighting for stews' rights with the airline--which he felt could cost him his promotion. Guest Star; Captain Rowland Hughes (2008): 35 in 1960 and handsome, a Global World Airlines captain, married but obviously enjoying the good life of a handsome jet setter, Hughes (who is slightly drunk when he boards the plane for Ally's first flight) thinks all the stews are there for his personal amusement, though he's having a long-term affair with stew supervisor Gloria Stone. Rowland gleefully plays a lascivious trick on Ally during her first flight, and is not happy when, in retaliation, she "accidentally" drops a bottle of liquor on him. He's the kind of guy who says things like, "You're a real tiger, aren't you?" when a disgusted Ally dumps the whiskey in his lap. Guest Star; Rowland Hughes (2008): Now in his 70s. Rowland is questioned about Ally by Valens, with whom he relaxes as he reminisces about the good ole days of the 1960s, when being an airline captain meant you could have any woman you wanted (regardless of how they felt about it). He downplays Ally's importance in his life, claiming he left Global World Airways for Pacific Air because the girls were better looking and "it was time for greener pastures." Somewhat cornered when Valens points out that Rowland was a regular at the hotel where Ally's body was found, Rowland suggests that if Valens wants to find out who Ally had trouble with, he should look to the women in her life. One Day Guest Star; Bert Walters (1960): 22 in 1960, Bert is Ally's old high school boyfriend, a blue collar, small town guy who's very upset about Ally's defection to stewardess training school. Desperately wanting Ally to come home and marry him, Bert embarrasses her at training school, but eventually leaves off in despair when he actually boards one of her flights but sees all the handsome, powerful men who are hitting on her. Co-Star; Bert Walters (2008): Now 69 years old, showing the tattered edges of a life not well lived, Bert is interviewed by Rush and Vera about his relationship with Ally. He gets nervous when the cops mention that her dead body was recently found, but though he swears he never saw her after he walked off one of her flights, he gives the cops a clue about another possible suspect. One Day Guest Star; Harvey Dewitt (1960): 26, well heeled, meticulous and refined. Harvey is a businessman on Ally's first flight, the owner of a gem company called Brilliant Import/Export. He tries to interest Ally in a vacation in Spain with him, but in actuality he's looking for Ally to be one of his gem smuggling mules (he and two stews later do time for smuggling). He's disappointed when Ally sees through him. Co-Star; Harvey Dewitt (2008): Now 75. Harvey is still imeccably tailored and none the worse for his long-ago stint in prison for gem smuggling. Somewhat condescending when he's questioned by Miller and Stillman about Ally, Harvey tells them that he tried to reel her in, but she wouldn't bite. One Day Guest Star; Lew Thurston: In his 80s but still vibrant. Lew is Ally's dad, who's questioned by Rush about his murdered daughter. He admits that he and his daughter, both stubborn people, sometimes went head to head, but he was obviously proud of her spunk. He tells Rush about Ally's old boyfriend, Bert, and grows nostalgic as he mentions that Ally got the travel bug from him, as he was in the infantry in WWII and helped liberate Paris. One Day Guest Star; Girl: Seen in 1960, this 13-15 years old girl wearing her Sunday best in anticipation of her first airplane flight sees the group of glamorous stews walking through the airport and rushes up to Ally to ask if she can take a picture with her. Co-Star; Chess Opponent: All ethnicities. This man is playing chess in the park with Paul Cooper. Co-Star. (Posted: October 13, 2008)

(Santa Fe, NM) - Send photographs & resumes ASAP to: Details Are only Available By Subscription.. Title: THE MIRACLE LIFE OF EDGAR MINT, Feature Film. CAST, Ben Foster; PROD, Michael Stipe, Sandy Stern, Erica Westheimer; DIR, Mark Palansky; SCR, Michael Cuesta, Gerald Cuesta. Shoot Dates: November, 2008 (in Santa Fe, New Mexico). STORY: After a near death accident, an abandoned, but extraordinary boy named Edgar Mint ventures out on an epic journey bursting with heartache and hilarity to find a home and ultimately a family. Breakdown-- Edgar Mint: Age range 10-13. Observant, intelligent, optimistic, half-Caucasian half-Native American, this 12 year old boy was run over by a mail truck at age 7 and has spent almost 5 years in a coma. He amazingly comes out of it with no apparent muscular degeneration and is subsequently heralded as a "miracle boy." Yearning to be reunited with his alcoholic mother, Edgar bonds with the men on his hospital ward, but must leave his new friends to attend an Indian school with people of his own "kind." There, he befriends Cecil, an Apache boy who teaches him some of the ways of their people. When Cecil is sent away to a reformatory, Edgar takes a tall dive off a steep cliff -- only to, once again, miraculously survive. Taken in by a devout Mormon family, Edgar believes that he has found a safe haven -- but his new family life soon painfully unravels. Stalked by the eccentric Barry, the doctor who saved his life years ago, Edgar embarks on a mission of forgiveness, ceaselessly seeking the mailman who ran him over so long ago. Ultimately, Edgar finds the peace and stability he craves -- but it's a long and hazardous journey for this young, resilient survivor. Note: Looking for a very special, wonderful boy who is wise beyond his years. Seeking performers who either have some Native ancestry and also performers who do not, but look like they may have some kind of mixed heritage. A Caucasian look is ok if not fair hair. Newcomers welcome. Lead; Cecil: Age range 14-16. This husky 16 years old, quiet but intense, Apache boy with braces on his legs meets Edgar in the hospital, and is sent with him to the Indian school. There, both are immediately beset by a gang of repugnant bullies, headed by the sadistic Nelson. Cecil bonds closely with Edgar and teaches him some of the ways of their people. Deceptively impassive, but actually deeply sensitive, he is later assaulted by Nelson, and plots a fitting yet brutal revenge that separates him from Edgar and lands him in reform school. Lead; Brain Madsen: 7, (Can be older to play 7-9 years old), Caucasian. Brain (real name Brian) is the youngest of the two Madsen children, a bright, precocious boy with a lot more formal education than the 12 year old Edgar. Silently displeased to get an unwanted older brother in his home, Brain slyly pretends to befriend Edgar, while subtly keeping him in his place and wrongly convincing everyone that Edgar is a bed-wetter. A devious, manipulative kid with a malicious streak, Brain does his best to convince Edgar to hit the road. Lead; Sunny Madsen: 16, (Please submit 18 or younger only if performer can travel without a parent), Caucasian, an attractive, provocative young woman. She's the teenaged daughter of Lana and Clay, and she does her best to treat Edgar with bored disinterest. Believing Edgar to be a weird kid, Sunny takes it for granted when her parents want to adopt him, and she's utterly horrified by her father's explosion of rage against the family zoo; Mailman / Nicholas: Mid 30s-Late 40s. A small, bird-boned, sweet and kind mailman, he accidentally runs over Edgar, crushing the boy's skull. Convinced he's killed a child, the Mailman flees his job and the state in a desperate effort to shed his guilt. The obsessive object of Edgar's search, he is tracked down six years later at his home in Pennsylvania. There, the Mailman (named Nicholas Petenko) reveals that he was in the neighborhood, not to deliver mail, but to buy Edgar from his hopelessly alcoholic mother. He and his wife Rosa offer Edgar a genuinely loving home -- at last. IMPORTANT CAMEO ROLE FOR OFFER; Elder Spatford: A clean cut man in a pressed white shirt and pressed slacks, first seen riding a bicycle, he is a Mormon missionary, partnered with Elder Turley, who sees that an injured Edgar is taken to the hospital. He explains the Mormon faith to Edgar, and arranges for him to be taken in by the Madsens; Alan Lovejoy: 10-13. A pious know-it-all, this Mormon kid is one of the boys at the church attended by the Madsen family. A self-righteous little brat who disbelieves in Edgar's Indian ancestry, he spies on Lana necking with Barry, and insists on not only showing the spectacle to Edgar, but also rats out Lana to her easily-maddened husband.

Shoot Dates: April 13, 2009 (in Los Angeles, CA). Breakdown-- Milo: 18-35 (Note: WE WILL BE CASTING AN ADULT TO PLAY A 9 YEAR OLD BOY). Milo is a smart-ass 9 years old kid who sees his mother as nothing more than a householdchore dictator. His big wake-up call comes when his mother is abducted in the night by alien raiders. He follows and ends up stowed away on the Martian spaceship. Milo finds Mars to be an authoritarian matriarchal dictatorship ruled by an easily-enraged Supervisor. He escapes to the trash caverns deep below the subterranean civilization where he meets Gribble, a mysterious earthman who lives in a ramshackle nest of salvaged electronics, hiding from the Martians. Together with Gribble, and later a rebellious Martian girl, Ki, Milo must plan and execute a daring rescue of his mother from the alien death machine, and in so doing learn the real value of a mother's love. Lead; Gribble: 20s-40s. Gribble is the ultimate couch potato computer genius. Like Milo, he arrived on Mars at a young age and has built a life for himself hidden in the vast underground trash heaps. His home is a fabulous Aladdin's cave of salvaged electronics from which he can spy on the Martian civilization above. A child who never grew up, Gribble welcomes Milo as his new best buddy and tries to persuade him to stay. Through his adventures with Milo, the man-child Gribble comes to face the demons from his own past and overcome them, rising up to become the hero he never expected himself to be. And when they join forces with Ki, Gribble encounters another unexpected aspect of growing up - romance. STAR NAMES ONLY. Lead; Ki (Pronounce "Key"): 18-30s. A slim and graceful young Martian woman, fresh out of the awkwardness of youth, Ki is the assistant to The Supervisor. But secretly Ki disagrees with the sterile, authoritarian culture of Mars. She knows there is something missing from her society and expresses her dissatisfaction in the form of fantastically beautiful but anonymous floral graffiti. When Milo and Gribble infiltrate the Martian infrastructure, Ki sees her chance to join them and make a meaningful rebellious statement. Her ambitions are fulfilled beyond her wildest dreams, as the actions of her co-conspirators fundamentally change Martian society and also result in her romantic entanglement with Gribble. STAR NAMES ONLY. Lead; Mom: 30s-40s. A beautiful, loving but chronically under-valued mother, Mom hates that she finds herself constantly nagging her spirited and disobedient son. Mom would love to find a way to communicate with Milo that does not degenerate into an argument. What she does not expect is that being kidnapped by Martians will give her just that chance. When Milo comes to rescue her, Mom is terrified to discover herself on an alien planet but in their escape she finds the opportunity to express her love for her son in a way that words never could. STAR NAMES ONLY. Cameo; Supervisor: 40s-60s. Described by Gribble as "the alien love-child of Hitler and Cruella DeVil", the Supervisor is the authoritarian ruler of Mars. She is an ancient female Martian who inspires terror in all she meets, the grim mastermind behind the scheme to kidnap Earth moms. She goes berserk with fury when Milo sets his mother free and in so doing changes the civilization she has labored her whole life to build. STAR NAMES ONLY. Cameo; Dad: 30s-40s. Milo's dad is headed home after a business trip but his plane is delayed by a blizzard. Apologetic because he won't be home in time to take Milo to the movies as he promised, Dad drives all night and arrives home with no idea that Mom and Milo have been on a bizarre interplanetary adventure. STAR NAMES ONLY. Cameo; Wingnut: 30s-40s. One of a tribe of outcast Martian males who live in the underground trash caverns, he's nicknamed "Wingnut" by Gribble, who has tried and failed to train him to be his buddy. Dismissed by everyone as dumb, Wingnut nevertheless leads the Tribe to save the day and restore love and affection to Martian society. STAR NAMES ONLY. Cameo. (Posted: October 13, 2008)

Shoot Dates: October 7-16, 2008 (in Los Angeles, CA). Breakdown-- Dexter "Dex" Collins: 30, African-American, charismatic. Dex is a smart, idealistic young man. Born in a Philly ghetto, he got a full ride at Penn, Yale Law and then did a stint on Wall Street. Now, he's back on his home turf, determined to shake things up, take on incumbent city council member, Leroy Boone, and clear out the drug dealers. Unfortunately, he's killed before he gets the chance. Guest Star; Cassie Banks (2005, 2008): Seen at 30 and 33, Caucasian, attractive, a Type A woman. She is Dex's campaign manager. the two met in law school where she was his sometime-girlfriend. Clearly still smitten by Dex, she had left a major gig in Washington, D.C. to work with him, convinced he'd make a great city councilman. However, she's also sometimes infuriated by his naive idealism. Guest Star; Ronnie Collins (2005, 2008): 50s, African-American, a salt-of-the-earth type. Ronnie is Dex's dad, and had raised Dex single-handedly. A lifelong janitor, Ronnie is Dex's major source of inspiration, a man who believed in hard work, determination and living with faith. Proud of what Dex had accomplished, he is deeply saddened by his son's death. Guest Star; Victor Nash (2005, 2008): Seen at age 30 and then at 33, African-American. He is an intimidating man, a childhood friend of Dex, who wound up a drug dealer. Despite his tough veneer, he has a grudging respect for his old pal, and takes a job helping out with the campaign. However, he's still angry that while Dex got shipped off to boarding school after a juvenile drug arrest, he served 2 years at a youth correction facility. Guest Star; Warren Wilson (2005, 2008): 40s, African-American. He is a restaurant proprietor, a family man who's seen too much hurt and killing on the streets to be easily swayed by the idealistic young Dex. However, he does put his weight behind Dex, only to have the opposition force the closure of his restaurant. Outraged when Dex doesn't jump at the chance to use some incriminating photos to hurt his opponent, Warren snaps, taking out his anger on the man he'd seen as a savior. Guest Star; Leroy Boone (2005, 2008): Late 50s, African-American, 30 years on the city council. He is a dark and moody man, the incumbent Dex is trying to unseat. Like any gangster on the street, Leroy Boone had muscle, "only his wore a badge." Used to fighting dirty, he admits that in all his years in politics, he'd never met anyone like Dex -- and that made life interesting. Guest Star; Lt. Deputy Commissioner Patick Hogan (2005, 2008): Late 40s, Caucasian. He is the Lt. Deputy Commissioner, firmly ensconced in Leroy Boone's back pocket. Hoping to keep things status quo, he had always been happy to do Leroy's bidding. Guest Star; Assistant District Attorney Alex Bell: 30s, city college bred, seemingly distracted by everything but the interview. He is an Assistant District Attorney. It appears that self-deprecating Bell is disorganized and not terribly good at his job, but, in fact, he's got an ace up his sleeve and knows just how to get what he wants. Guest Star; Frank Mulwrey (2005, 2008): 40s, Caucasian, with dark glasses and an attache case, Mulwrey is a real estate developer, a shady fellow who offers Dex a whole lot of money not to interfere with a building deal. He admits to Rush that never before had a candidate given him back his money. Guest Star; Luther Carp: 30s, all ethnicities. Luther Carp is a "career scumbag," serving time for robbing five liquor stores. He meets with Valens and Rush, claiming to have important information about the Dex murder. One Day Guest Star; Jay Quincy: 40s, all ethnicities. This smug fellow is a "straw pusher," someone who makes a stolen gun report after selling the weapon. Apparently, he had sold the gun to the person who killed Dex. He's not about to give away anything, until it seems the ADA is going to lock up his mother if he doesn't talk. Co-STAR; Harold: 30s, African-American. He is a local reporter, eager to find out what makes Dex Collins tick, and why he's so determined to make a difference in his old neighborhood. He also knows that knocking Leroy Boone off his perch will prove quite a fight. Co-STAR; Josephine: 50s, African-American. The representative of a local church, she tries to explain to a crestfallen Dex why her church can no longer support him for city council. The church building had been vandalized one too many times. Co-STAR; Jorge Gomez: 20s, Dominican. He is identified as the owner of gun used in a homicide. He immediately wants a lawyer. (Posted: October 1, 2008)

Contract: SAG. Shoot Dates: On/About October 11, 2008 (in Los Angeles, CA). Breakdown-- Will Schuester: 30ish, attractive, appealing, upbeat and naturally optimistic. A dreamer who's managed to evade close contact with reality for much of his life, Will is married to Terri and trying hard to become a father. A Spanish teacher at Harrison High in Ohio, Will has fond memories of his participation in the school's 1993 Glee Club (they made it to the Nationals!), and when he spots a chance to become the Glee Club coach of 2008, he seizes it - even though it will cost him money, and the club consists of five geektards. Under pressure from his wife to earn hard money and support his family, Will prefers instead to dream the impossible dream - though he'll probably wind up bearing the unbearable sorrow. MUST BE ABLE TO SING. Series Regular; Terri Schuester: Late 20s-30, attractive, Midwestern, a former glee club member. She was Will's high school sweetheart -- but now she's married to him and living in an apartment that regularly erupts in conflict. Determined to have a baby, she's also determined to be married to a man with an income, a future, and a backbone -- but all Will has at the moment is a stubborn determination to have fun while going broke. Working at Sheets N' Things, a company that might be going toes up any hour now, she's taking on extra shifts to pay the bills, and wants Will to carry his share of the economic responsibility by taking on a real job with a real company, and leaving the Glee Club kids to fend for their odd selves. MUST BE ABLE TO SING. Recurring Guest Star; Emma Pillsbury: 30ish, attractive, both endearing and quirky in a loveable way. She is the guidance counselor at Harrison High. Emma "The Ingenue" is pretty, but doesn't think so. A woman with a really bad case of OCD, who needs to scrub the table before unpacking her PBJ sandwich wrapped in tinfoil, Emma is both endearing and a little nuts, and she suffers from a bad case of unrequited love for Will Schuester. Quick to rebuff Ken Tanaka's attempts to date her, Emma is aware that Will is happily married, and wallows (perhaps pleasurably) in the hopelessness of her doomed romance. SINGING IS A PLUS. Series Regular; Finn Hudson: 18+ or emancipated to play high school. A handsome jock, who looks too kind to be hanging out with the rest of the slope-browed Neanderthals on the Harrison High football team, Finn in fact has an excellent singing voice, and a slumbering passion for classic 80s rock. A kid who has the collected works of Journey committed to memory, Finn is blackmailed by Will Schuester into joining the Glee Club, and in fact Finn finds music to be more fun than grunting and butting heads with other guys. Mercilessly mocked by his buddies for joining the Glee Club, Finn proves to have an acerbically accurate vision of the nature of high school society, and clearly regards it all as an exercise in futile time-wasting. HE MUST BE A GREAT SINGER AND ABLE TO DANCE (DON'T LIMIT YOUR SUBMISSIONS TO BROADWAY / POP / CLASSICALLY TRAINED VOICES - THEY ARE ALSO OPEN TO A GREAT ROCK AND ROLL VOICE). Series Regular; Rachel Berry: 18+ or emancipated to play high school. Pretty, the "star female singer" of the Harrison High Glee Club, a teenaged girl whose makeup and manner is way too theatrical, Rachel is self-aborbed, self-obsessed, self-deluded -- and an excellent singer. Rachel has a burning need to be a star. A determined young woman with two gay male parents at home, Rachel sets her cap for new Glee Club member Finn Hudson, and steams in his direction making Merman-esque assertions of desire. SHE MUST BE A GREAT SINGER AND ABLE TO DANCE. Series Regular; Mercedes: 18+ to play high school, African-American, preferably heavyset. She's another outcast at Harrison High who has found herself a not-so-pleasant niche at the Glee Club. Loud and a little overbearing, convinced that she's a master dress designer, Mercedes has high standards for herself, and insists on being taken on an expensive date when Rajeesh hints he'd like to go out with her. SHE MUST BE A GREAT SINGER AND DANCER. Series Regular; Rajeesh: 18+ or emancipated to play high school, East Indian teenage student at Harrison High. Rajeesh is one of the six members of the Glee Club, and he's a butt of humor for the other students. His eforts to strike up a little romance with Mercedes all seem to end in confusion. HE MUST BE A GREAT SINGER AND ABLE TO DANCE. Series Regular; Arty Abrams: 18+ or emancipated to play high school, all ethnicities. Another of the six members of the high school Glee Club. Arty is paralyzed from the waist down, and is wheelchair-bound. Another outcast at school, Arty has heart. SEEKING ACTUAL DISABLED ACTORS AS WELL AS OTHERS. HE MUST BE A GREAT SINGER. Series Regular; Tina: 18+ or emancipated to play high school, all ethnicities. The sixth member of the Glee Club. Tina has a horrible stutter or Tourette's, but when she sings it completely disappears and she has an amazing voice. She is yet another outcast who has joined the Glee Club in a desperate effort to find a community that will accept her. MUST BE A GREAT SINGER AND ABLE TO DANCE. Series Regular; Puck: 18+ or emancipated to play high school. Very Handsome & Preferably Tall. Another teen jock at Harrison High. Puck is a manchild, a dim bully who understands the rules of the pecking order, far better than he will ever understand algebra. Buddies with Finn, Puck turns on him when he joins the Glee Club, and treats him as he does all outcasts: with a volley of paintball explosions. MUST BE A GREAT SINGER AND ABLE TO DANCE. Series Regular; Liz Fabray: 18+ or emancipated to play high school, very pretty. Another teenager at Harrison High, and Finn's girlfriend, she is the president of the Celibacy Club, and she'd rather pray than play (think Reese Witherspoon from "Election"). MUST BE A GREAT SINGER AND ABLE TO DANCE; Ken Tanaka: 35-45, Asian, the history teacher / football coach at Harrison High. Ken has a soft spot for Emma Pillsbury -- but she won't give him the time of day, because she dotes hopelessly on Will Scheuster. A guy who gets through the long dull days at Harrison High with the aid of a secret stash of pot, Ken is a bloodshot buddy to Will Schuester -- until he's convinced that Will has stolen his star quarterback to patch up that talent hole in the Glee Club. SINGING IS A PLUS. Recurring Guest Star; Sue Sylvester: 30-45, all ethnicities. The anal, tightly wound, and ruthlessly ambitious leader of the Harrison High cheer leading squad. SINGING IS A PLUS. Recurring Guest Star; Quinn Fabray: 18-22 to play high school age, Blonde & Very Pretty, a cheerleader at Harrison High, and Finn's girlfriend. She is the president of the Celibacy Club, and she'd rather pray than play. MUST BE A GREAT SINGER; Principal Figgins: In his 40s, all ethnicities, charactery, the stern looking Principal of Harrison High. Figgins is a man on a tight budget, with no extra cash for Glee Club costumes or music or...anything. A guy who squeezes a nickel until it bleats, Figgins gives Will exactly zero financial assistance in mounting the Glee Club shows, but is quite adept at getting Will to volunteer himself for extra duties at no pay. Recurring Guest Star; Sandy Ryerson: 35-45, all ethnicities. He's gay, but covers it...most of the time. With a pastel sweater thrown over his shoulders, Sandy is the former Glee Club teacher, who is given the axe after an episode of inappropriate touching. Later, Sandy runs into Will, the new Glee Club coach, and reveals that he's found himself a profitable sideline -- selling medical marijuana to needy, weed-addicted customers like Ken Tanaka. SINGING IS A PLUS. Recurring Guest Star; Joe: 40s and overweight. This Caucasian Jewish man is one of Rachel's two gay parents, seen supporting her vocal career from birth to Glee Club. Recurring Role; Bruce: 40s, African-American and extremely thin and flamboyant. He is one of Rachel's two gay parents, seen supporting her vocal career from birth to Glee Club. Recurring Role; Carole: 35-Early 40s, plain, down on her luck, with a low income. She is the single mother of Finn Hudson. She has a brief happy amour with Darren, the guy who transmits to Finn his profound love for the musical creations of Journey; Lillian Adler: In her 50s, all ethnicities, seen in 1993. She's an obese Glee Club coach who leads her Harrison High team to compete in the Nationals -- a never-to-be-repeated achievement. Recurring Role; Darren: 30-35, all ethnicities. This is a good-looking guy with a mullet -- this is the guy that graduated high school and still hangs out at every high school football game (Matthew McConaughey in the movie "Dazed And Confused"). Darren dates Carole briefly, while Finn is still a kid. A guy with a profound and abiding love of the rock band "Journey," Dar
