I have a callback for this part in....oh, about an hour. I've seen the movie once, but could anyone give me any hints as to what the character is like? I know it's a small part and that he is 'surly and beauracratic' and that he's basically like a stuck up lap dog. Is that essentially what his character is like?

I know he searches for the shoe and he kills Jack's mother in the end, but I was just wondering if there was anything about the character that I might not have known. Thanks for anyone who can reply within the next hour!

He's a little snot. He acts tough until the Prince is around. He is basically a lap dog. But he's got some funny bits in the show.

You can take a number of routes. He can be very prissy and stuck up...really a queen (always fun!)

very uppity and sharp toungued. He is very chin up character. theres not to much to him. He's sort of anal retentive. careful not to overdue it though. he's a fun part and it's a great show good luck

He's your typical guy in a position of power who really only cares about his own skin. Very self-centered and selfish. It's very easy to make him too cartoony though, so be careful.

It's a fun part, good luck!
