Supporting Lead
Eli
Dealer · Tattooed · The Honest Cynic
“Not death — waste. Dying for nothing, like everyone else here.”
The neighborhood's dealer and, quietly, its most honest man. Eli sees the supernatural first, believes it first, and dies making sure everyone else survives long enough to believe him.
Psychological profile
Eli's humor is defensive. His confidence hides guilt — he glamorized the streets to younger boys like Lonnie and knows it. His code (clean product, no lies, protect who you know) is real, and it costs him his life.
Wants
To keep his small circle alive in a place designed to kill them. To be believed, once, without a joke attached.
Fears
Not death — waste. Dying for nothing.
Performance notes
- 01
Eli is funny until he absolutely is not. Land the jokes so the sincerity lands harder.
- 02
His last scenes are physical: play pain as annoyance, dying as unfinished business.
- 03
Chemistry with Daniel should feel like brothers who chose each other.
