Type / Restrictions: Red Tape Theatre is seeking male actors ( age range from 20s, 30s, 40s)to audition for the role of RODNEY: Uptight to the extreme. Type A cubed. Hyper, on overdrive. Keeps his apartment spic and span, never a thing out of place. Zealously committed to his work. An introvert who can't understand why anyone else wastes time on socializing or small talk. A man who relishes his power and his superiority over anyone below him and not "in the know." Probably rarely sleeps, or if he does, he sleeps in his work clothes with an ear bud in his ear. Believes in rules, needs rules, looooves rules. Anyone who doesn't follow the rules deserves to be punished.
He completely ignores any messy human impulses.
