CHAD 1 AND 2
CHAD 1 & 2: The first contestant on the television dating show Blind Date. Chad is handsome, self-confident and completely convinced that he is exactly what every woman wants. Unfortunately, he is far more impressed with himself than anyone else is.
CHAD 2:
The second contestant on Blind Date—and, remarkably, he is also named Chad. He is a wealthy, image-conscious bodybuilder who enjoys sunbathing, displaying his success and explaining why his lifestyle makes him an exceptional romantic choice.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
A fearless comic actor who can play arrogance with charm, energy and excellent timing. The performer should be willing to make bold choices while keeping Chad believable. He must understand that Chad does not think he is ridiculous—he believes every word he says.
MOVEMENT REQUIREMENTS
Must be comfortable with stylized game-show movement, physical comedy and striking overly confident poses.
IMPORTANT
The role requires complete commitment. Chad will be funniest when the actor plays his confidence sincerely instead of deliberately trying to get laughs.
Possibly in the ensemble also.
