"ME & MY BOY"
CHARACTER: 5 MALES / 2 FEMALES...
DESCRIPTION:
"After ten years of abandonment, a father must reconcile with his criminally, deleinquent son in order to save him from the streets and a life behind bars."
O'DELL DOUGLAS- Forty-six, medium height and build, ol' skool, with rough edges. A bachelor for ten years... he sets his own rules. His confidence and streetwise demeanor serve him well. As a civil servant for the State of California, a Supervisor in the Community Care Licensing Division, he protects children assigned to group homes. Now he is faced with protecting his own child.
ANTONIO CURTIS GONZALES- Mid-forties, a hip Latino and friend of twenty plus years is a fairly successful Enrolled Agent. A loving father to a sixteen year old son.

MARSHA- A beautiful Black woman, early forties, her feminine qualities are a continuous display of artistic expression. Her love for O'Dell stems from a long time childhood admiration.
SHARON- Forty-six, pretty, confident, dressed in a high cut, skirt suit. It's easy to see how O'Dell got lost in the essence of this woman. She's no light weight.
JD- White, late forties is wearing an expensive suit. His hair is short and neat, cool, well spoken. However, he has excepted the second position in this relationship. Something that O'Dell will not be very receptive to.

DEON- Sixteen, nostrils filled-with the smell of his on piss, lags far behind. Good kid gone bad... In a hurry. Wearing a wave cap, a white, tank-top, very baggy jeans with no belt and Timberland boots. We can see his underwear.
ROLE PLAYED BY: Tommy Wright
SHAWN GONZALES- Latino, 16, very mature, yet, fun and loose. He has a smooth style. Deon and Shawn were virtually raised like brothers until the age of six.
