Roles:

[TEDDY]
Lead Male (30 - 39) Black
"He's a normal looking guy, a bit of a dreamer who just can't quite get his shit together." TEDDY forgot his wife's 30th birthday last year, and this year, he's determined to make it up to her. He takes her on a trip in Upstate New York for a weekend getaway, when he accidentally stumbles into a contract killing
situation and is mistaken for a hitman known as The Man from Toronto. Teddy is quickly captured by CIA officers and taken into custody, where they seek information regarding the goings on at the cabin. They then recognize that Teddy is on good and friendly terms now with the bad guys who the CIA are desperate to track down, so he is bribed and convinced over several days to go further and further in developing relationships and gaining information. Teddy ultimately manages to take
down an international terrorist and prevent him from detonating Mercury-poisoned vapor throughout several major cities. Once all of this is concluded, he returns to his wife with a stronger sense of self and of love for her.

[MAN FROM TORONTO]
Lead Male (40 - 49)
"The man you call when there are no more calls to be made." THE MAN FROM TORONTO is an internationally renown hit man and torture artist who is utilized by bad guys trying to get information out of other bad guys. He's killed 26 people in his
life and has just accepted his last and final job, before retiring to go live peacefully with his young daughter Lindsay. However, when he gets held up and delayed while on a cruise ship with his daughter, he misses his opportunity and Teddy stumbles into
his identity instead. Once back on shore and learning of what happened, The Man from Toronto tracks down Teddy and demands his 3 million dollars and identity back. He succeeds in getting his money back, but not until he helps destroy Gogol's
drones which are carrying weapons of mass destruction. Afterwards, he receives his money, and retires to go live closer to his daughter.
