[ LARRY WILHOITE ]
Male, 30’s- early 40’s, Caucasian. Not the brightest and seemingly harmless, Larry plays the part of bumbling mall security guard very well, but in actuality, he’s taken over a ring of thieves - Erika, Jeremy, and Clay - that the victim, Mitchell, was running.

Larry wants to be more than a mere security guard; he wants have what Mitchell had and will do whatever it takes to make that happen. GUEST STAR.

Zak does not want Carin to go into foster care so everything he does is to protect her. PLEASE SUBMIT LEGAL 18 AND UP. sptv050769 GUEST STAR.

[ CARIN SUTTER ]
Female, 12, Caucasian. Carin is Zak’s sweet and innocent little sister who is also somewhat urban and street-wise, without being too mature for her age. Her brother is her only family. When questioned, Carin seems to know more than she’s telling, but she fears losing her brother and having to go into foster care so deeply that she remains quiet. Carin latches onto Reese as the investigation progresses. GUEST STAR OR POSSIBLE NICE CO-STAR.

[ ERIKA HUTTON ]
Female, 18, a natural beauty who waits tables at a tedious chain restaurant in the mall. Flirtatious and independent, she ran away from home at twelve and never finished high school. Initially, Erika denies knowing the victim, but it eventually comes out that she is in deep denial about being abused, but continues to remain loyal to her abuser and her friends. GUEST STAR.

[ JEREMY ]
Male, 20. A hardened slacker, Jeremy is muscular, does a lot of manual labor, and looks tough, even though he still lives with his parents. Like Erika, Jeremy never finished high school. He was raised in an abusive environment and has a violent streak. Even though Jeremy is low on ambition, he is a dangerous loose cannon who beats up on both Zak and Clay, steals and lies to the police. PLEASE SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES. GUEST STAR.

[ CLAY ]
Male, 20. Clay is a sullen but harmless, out-of-shape slacker and drug-user who is easily influenced and intimidated by his peers. When he’s not at his low-level mall job, he’s getting high and hanging out at Erika’s apartment in his boxers and socks. Sometimes, Clay talks too much when he shouldn’t, and after Jeremy punishes him for this, Clay won’t say a word to the police. PLEASE SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES. GUEST STAR.

MAD MEN star Christina Hendricks to return to NBC’s LIFE

Attention Joan Holloway fans: The brassy redheaded secretary with the heart of, well, brass plans to cheat on her fellow Sterling Cooper secretaries by once again appearing as Charlie Crews’ future stepmother on the second season of Zen-cop procedural LIFE. After a two-episode spot on the NBC show last season, Christina Hendricks will return for an arc that continues her illicit burgeoning romance with Ted Earley (Adam Arkin) — Crews’ prison buddy, financial advisor, and current roommate.

“Everybody loves her,” says LIFE creator Rand Ravich of the actress — though no one’s expounding on where her role might go. Of course, the fact that her character, Olivia, is currently engaged to Crews’ father doesn’t necessarily spell happiness for Arkin’s character. But he’s not giving up on love: According to Arkin, around the seventh episode, Ted will start asking, “‘When? When is this happening? Why has it been such a long engagement? What’s going on?’ So who knows? It’s pretty hard to get a read on what Rand’s future plans are gonna be.”

The seventh episode of the sophomore season of LIFE will be called “Jackpot”
