Casting Call: MONTRÉAL - UPDATED!

We're in pre-production of our next short film, MONTRÉAL! If you or anybody you know fits any of these descriptions, please send in a couple photos of yourself and if possible, a reel/clips of your work to casting [at] roscofilms [dot] com. 
We're looking to shoot in late February or early March in Kitchener,ON, Canada, with some rehearsal beforehand; especially with our lead, Stanley. Thanks for your help!

Synopsis
When Stanley receives a call from someone claiming to be his grandson, he doesn’t hesitate to send him $2000 to free him from a Montreal prison.

STANLEY (65 – 80 yrs), any ethnicity– An endearing mix of eccentricity and naiveté. Nothing is more important to him than his family and his grandchildren in particular. Ideally, not taller than 5'6" or so (location has height limitations!).




ROGER (65-80 yrs), any ethnicity - Wealthy, successful, and arrogant. He brags about how generous he is to his family. Shows little respect to people in general.





ELIZABETH ("LIZZY") (35 – 45 yrs), any ethnicity (same ethnicity as STANLEY), VOICE ONLY– Loves her father STANLEY, proud of her 16-20yr-old son, BRIAN.

"BRIAN" (17 - 25 yrs), any ethnicity, VOICE ONLY - Calls STANLEY to ask for money to bail him out of jail. A fraudster, but not a very good one.
