Seeking:
Harvey - a Caucasian male in his early 40s is our main character. He is
a strong-willed and independent person, a self made man proud of his
achievements. Even though he handles his life quite well, he has a well-known
fondness for drinks and a few gambles. He’s a man of few words, concise and
straight to the point. He never founded a family since he’s always been way too
interested in women to only choose one.
Louie - is an undercover pawnbroker, loaning money at frightening rates. He's a fat Persian guy with an open shirt, gold chain and watches. Often sweating. (has a substantial conversation with the lead while driving a car, so driving is a must!)
Ralph - is a little crook living in the neighborhood, spending most of his time partying and drinking in clubs. He’s known for dealing drugs and being a second-rank, wannabe pimp. (Ralph has a heated conversation with the lead that goes a bit physical, being comfortable with this a must).
John - is a regular at the Blue and knows everyone there. When he arrives in front of the club, he meets John, an old friend who’s been working there for more than 20 years. He used to bartend and is now part of the management. He’s a chain smoker, laconic and old-fashioned guy.
