Episode 9 of the coming sophomore season of LIFE will be called Badge Bunny, and here are some casting calls :

[ ALEX LANG ]
male, 40’s, Caucasian. An older, respected beat cop who is mourning, along with the rest of the department, one of the girls who was part of their cop family. He seems very respectful and helpful but ultimately knows more about what happened to the dead girl and the dead drug dealer. GUEST STAR.

[ DIANE GORDON ]
female, early-to-mid-30’s, Caucasian. The strong, pretty wife of Sean Gordon, Diane used to be a badge bunny (i.e., cop groupie) as well. She is aware of her husband’s infidelities with some of the current badge bunnies, but she tries to look the other way. She is smart, tough and very aware of police procedure and the dangerous realities of their lives. GUEST STAR.

[ SEAN GORDON ]
male, early-to-mid-30’s, Caucasian. Attractive and cute in a friendly, warm way, Sean is a cop’s cop and a stand-up, nice guy. All the girls seem to have a thing for Sean, either now or in the past, as he is warm, caring and a really good guy, despite the fact that he openly cheats on his wife and has serious loyalty issues. He was involved with the victim and we can’t be sure he isn’t somehow involved in her death, though none of his groupies believe that. GUEST STAR.

[ MARIE ]
female, late 20’s, Caucasian. A very pretty, smart badge bunny (i.e., cop groupie) who mourns the loss of the victim, a fellow badge bunny. She is very savvy to the ways of police procedure and spends a lot of time with Crews, trying to help him with the case.

[ JUSTIN THORN ]
male, mid-30’s to mid-40’s, Caucasian. A drug kingpin, he is powerful, quick-thinking and very smooth.

Nothing ruffles him, not even when evidence is found in his house linking him to the murder of a badge bunny and one of his dealers. He knows he’s been set up, and if the cops want him for this, there’s not a lot he can do. FUN 1-DAY GUEST STAR.

[ HEIDI LYNCH ]
female, mid-to-late-20’s, Caucasian/Hispanic/Asian. Pretty and sweet with long hair, Heidi is a teacher at an elementary school where she worked alongside the victim.

[ Source: Spoiler TV ]

PROFESSOR GERALD HATHAWAY
Male, 40’s to early 60’s, Caucasian. A University professor who has created a social experiment where students are randomly assigned to be either prisoners or convicts in a mock prison scenario.

ALSO PLEASE SUBMIT STAR NAMES. GUEST STAR.

DETECTIVE HENRY VILLALON
male, mid/late 30’s. The first time we see the Detective, he is drunk and crying and is being dragged into the precinct for discharging his weapon without cause. He’s a bit of an emotional sad-sack whose first wife is leaving him and he is totally falling apart at the seams. NICE 1-DAY GUEST STAR.

TATE
male, early 20’s, Caucasian is an articulate, arty, sensitive guy who was a poetry major before the experiment. He wants to be included with the cooler frat guys, but clearly he is not. He takes a more aggressive, smart ass role once the prison experiment begins in order to fit in and likes the attention that it brings. Could be a suspect, though he did seem to like the victim more than the others. sptv050769 GUEST STAR.

WILL
male, early 20’s, sweet faced emo nerd who was a chemistry major before entering the prison experiment. He gets picked on over and over by the guards, but seems to want to get on their bad side.

female, early 20’s, a big girl, and a little piercing. She was a lot softer before the experiment started, and the authority position has toughened her.

GUEST STAR. PLEASE SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES.

PERRY
male, early 20’s, Caucasian, a grinning skater/art punk who whistles; he thinks the prison experiment is totally cool and is up for seeing some CRAZY as he likes to call it.

He gives a lot of attitude and likes to be loud, but when it comes down to it, he really is mostly all talk. GUEST STAR.

JANIS
female, early 20’s, cute and pretty, great figure, she’s a college student, into Hello Kitty and Disney, purple, cute girly things. Everything about her is cute. Until she volunteers to be part of the “Prison experiment” and becomes an aggressive, tough, jealous girl who beats up another girl who she thinks is now dating her boyfriend. When we see her violent, more feral side, we establish how she could be a suspect. A NICE CO-STAR. PLEASE SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES.

‘DESTRO’ aka RYAN SAGEL
male, early 20’s, Caucasian, typical fraternity guy : big, athletic, likes to party and been known to haze pledges. He is given the role of head Correctional Officer in the prison experiment and takes his role a little too eagerly and aggressively. What happens to him really isn’t such a surprise as the reality of the situation really is similar to an actual prison scenario. A NICE CO-STAR.

EJ
male, early 20’s, Caucasian; he’s pre-law and knows when to stay quiet. He becomes the “prison rat” when he realizes he will get better treatment (i.e. hot cocoa) if he turns on his fellow inmates. NICE CO-STAR.

PRANAV
male, early 20’s, Indian, wiry. By all means not a big guy, in fact, he could use a good meal; but clearly he misses the food from the outside world and not that of the prison experiment he agreed to participate in. He goes around to everyone asking for their food and is always the first in line when anything is given out. Because of this, he seems willing to do anything anyone would ask, so clearly a suspect. CO-STAR.
