Hey guys,

I really this community to do what it does best and be supportive. I still have 7 parts to cast, all male parts. And I definitely cannot move forward without and Angel. So please, help me out.

The parts I need to cast:

Angel - a vampire over 200 years old. Was known as Angelus during his rampages across Europe, but was cursed with a soul, which gave him a conscience and guilt for centuries of murder and torture. After leaving Buffy, he moves to L.A. And begins Angel Inc. where he helps the helpless. And after four years of battling with his arch nemesis at Wolfram and Hart they "give up" and hand over the keys to their L.A. Branch. So now he's CEO of wolfram and Hart.

Charles Gunn: African American male in his early 30s. Was leader of a gang of street-fighters who protected their turf from vampires using guerrilla tactics. He came upon Angel during one of those Guerilla attacks and soon became alies with Angel. Once they moved to Wolfram and Hart he had the most untapped potential and allowed the senior partners to enhance his mind with a comprehensive understanding of the law, both human and demon (and Gilbert & Sullivan, to help improve his voice and diction), making him the only member of Angel's team who can work inside the system seamlessly.

Lorne: A green empath demon from the dimension of Pylea. He got sucked into L.A. through a portal and found out that the music he'd been hearing (they don't have music in his world) was a magnificent as he thought. So he opened a demon karaoke bar where he reads people's auras and helps them on their paths. After his club is destroyed he joins Angel Inc. and once they move to Wolfram and Hart he becomes the head of the Entertainment department.

Spike: an old vampire ally/foe of Angel's who also starred in Buffy. Spike reluctantly fights beside Angel as their rivalry continues– now tinged with Spike existing as another vampire with a soul, and by the romantic feelings that both of them have for Buffy Summers. Billy Idol stole his look from Spike.

Knox: He is a cute nerdy type in his mid-20s. Knox quickly develops a crush on Fred the two date for a while. Fred eventually decides they had best remain friends and co-workers — concluding she wanted someone who made her laugh, and Knox had been working at Wolfram & Hart for too long to be the 'right' kind of funny

Framkin: Is an older gentlemen who created Smile Time in his basement with a hot glue gun and a couch. However, after the ratings for Smile Time dropped to an all time low he makes a deal with demons. But the demons took over the show using it to drain the innocence out of their audience and even turned Framkin into a human puppet.

Groofus: He is a dog puppet. Unlike Polo (already cast) who sees Smile Time merely as a way to drain the life force of their audience, Groofus takes pride in providing "quality edutainment."

Just putting in a good word for Chelley. She stage managed Buffy and is excellent to work with. If you have the slightest inkling of doing this, DO IT.

ditto to the "Chelley is awesome" chorus. Buffy wouldn't have been half as awesome if not for her hard work.

and my love of David Fury has me curious about playing Framkin (plus, y'know...one scene. :p). hmm...must check schedule...
