Character breakdown for BENOIT is below. We are seeking submissions as soon as possible but no later than 8/5.

BENOIT: 23. Native Quebecker. Gay. Passionate, leads with his heart and gut, sometimes straight into trouble. In most cases, he's still young enough to know better but smart enough not to care. Impulsive. His Quebec pride is strong and unrelenting, and the fact that he finds himself falling for an English speaker is one of the largest obstacles he's faced in his young life. Wears his heart and his sexuality on his sleeve, and is unwilling to apology for either. Comes from a close-knit, loving family, and can never remember a time when marriage wasn't an option for everyone in his country. He struggles with speaking English, but he's definitely better at English than any of the other characters are at French. Needs to be intermediate to fluent French speaker, OR be very adept at learning new languages.
