BREAKDOWN
QUANG: Asian Male, 20’s-30’s. A Helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War. Adventurous, charming, rugged. Has a keen sense of humor, and isn’t afraid of a fight. Hides from his pain for the loss of his country and family with these traits.
TONG: Asian Female, 20’s-30’s. A Vietnamese refugee. Strong-willed, effortlessly sexy, and fiercely independent. Eschews convention against her mother’s wishes. She is the object of desire of many but deflects suitors with sarcasm. She is looking for something deep and real. Underneath her tough exterior, she is a vulnerable young woman just as lost and scared as everyone else. Emotional depth, complexity.

NHAN/ASIAN GUY/AMERICAN GUY/KHUE: Asian Male, 20’s-30’s. Actor must be able to create several distinct characters, including Quang’s loyal best friend who isn’t afraid to tell him the truth, and Tong’s hard-headed brother who stays in Vietnam for love.
BOBBY/PLAYWRIGHT/GIAI/CAPTAIN CHAMBERS/REDNECK BIKER/HIPPIE DUDE: Asian Male, Mid 20’s-30’s. Actor must strong comedic chops, and the dexterity to create several distinct characters, including a kind American soldier infatuated with Tong, a hippie dude, and the desperate lover Tong leaves behind in Vietnam.
